Description

After a night of testing the new RST-135E mount and setting up guiding with it, there was some time left for a new target. M15, which is mainly visible around September/October time was chosen. The problem with unscheduled sessions like this is that often conditions are not optimal. In this case more than an hour of exposures was rejected because the top of a tree was blocking it and the scope/camera combination with its high pixel-scale was somewhat under sampled for a small and detailed target like this. Nevertheless I'm quite happy with how the image came out.
