The skies here in the UK have been very disappointing the last month or so. Desperate for anything, I grabbed a chance at a clear dark view last night, but had only ten minutes sketching before the clouds rolled in again. M15 is great consolation though; extensive, bright, I just love the way it tantalises you with flickers of stars at the edge of vision. Flirty. And like many great beauties, out of reach.
I used a Skywatcher Skyliner 152mm f8 Dobsonian, 10 mm eyepiece. 22.30-22.40 UT
Peter,
Very fine sketch of this globular cluster with the very dense looking center.
