Messier 15. LRGB. 12th.September.2019. Moon 98.5 illuminated.

Messier 15 or NGC 7078 is a globular cluster located in the constellation of Pegasus. At an estimated 12.0 billion years old, it is one of the oldest known globular clusters and one of the most densely packed. It is 175 light years in diameter and 33600 light years distant. This was a test to see what I could pick up in such strong moonlight. The target was completely bathed in strong moonlight. No darks were used in the processing.
