philjay Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Grabbed 10 minutes of subs between clouds last night, spent over 35 minutes waiting for clouds and haze to shift to get this even. Gave up eventually and did double stars between clouds. Meade 127EDT and Atik 314L OSC Must tweak PHD to fine tune guiding with the finder guider on this scope Edited November 14, 2015 by philjay tuckstar, PolygonPi, +Ibbo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+seven_legs Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Managed to see this with my st120 a few weeks ago, nice globular but small. Nice shot, well done Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 It's a little cracker that one isn't it. OK, M13 and M92 are the show stoppers, but this one gets overlooked more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Ta guys. I like globs in the Meade, gives a nice image scale suitable for the smaller ones like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I like M15 but normally see it through my bins. Great shot. I'm hoping to get it with a DSLR unguided. It won't be nearly this good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 M15 responds well to magnification, too low a mag and its like an out of focus star, in bins you can easily miss it. A bit of mag brings out its f8rm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
