Messier 15 is 33,600 light years away in the constellation of Pegasus.
Home to over 100,000 stars M15 is the oldest known cluster at 12 billion years old and has a rare type of black hole at its centre. - (Wikipedia).This image is made from 12x180 second exposures @ISO 800 plus 10 darks, 10 bias and 10 flat frames. I also used a 42 second exposure to bring out some of the detail in the very dense and bright centre of the cluster.
Phd2 guiding was used to guide my field flattened ED80 using a ZWOASI120MC camera (0.2 second exposures) attached to a SW 80T guide scope.
Capture camera was an unmodified canon EOS40D DSLR controlled by my home made camera trigger allowing mirror flip then Stacked using deepSkyStacker.
