About this image

Whilst taking images of transient AT2018fzl, I had a look in my Sky and Telescope Pocket Sky Atlas and was reminded that the globular M15 is just off Enif of Pegasus. I captured a few frames before it clouded over. Not the best pic - but globulars as a class of object just can't be beaten!
