The M15 Hidden Mess
Lately I have been playing around with large exposures time for some common objects in order to get rather deep photos and, undoubtedly, M15 is one of the best targets for since it is a rather common target and the amount of hidden nebulosity "around" it is amazing. While you can get a pretty decent photo of M15 with a couple hours, with a couple dozen hours of additional RGB integration you get a vast amount of IFN and, with a couple dozen hours more of Ha, a beautiful Ha field can be unveiled. All of that hidden at plain sight...
