This 45-second long image of the compact globular cluster M15 (NGC 7078) in Pegasus was captured remotely on 2009/12/1 using the Bradford Robotic Telescope's 14" f/11 Celestron C14 SCT and FLI MicroLine camera located on Tenerife in the Canary Islands.  A Celestron focal reducer yielding an effective focal length of 1877mm at f/5.3 was employed.  North is up and east is to the left in the image.  For additional information on M15, see http://www.seds.org/messier/m/m015.html
