Hi all. I set up in my light polluted back yard last night, hoping to get SOMETHING.... ANYTHING! It was just too bright for any dim objects, but I managed to get a decent version of M15. I hope you like it. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

That's a wonderful shot, specially from a light polluted backyard Tyler!
I'm sure it is NOT as polluted as mine though... 8)

Fantastic shot.

I like the golden balls look in glob shots. Obviously some of the stars in these globs are older and more yellowish and you captured that nicely.

Greg.

Nice image Tyler. I see you have chosen an interesting framing for this object along with some prominent stars.

Interesting technique, I may try it on some of my images. Thanks for sharing.

That is indeed a beaut, Tyler! I remember Roland Christen suggesting that objects be framed off-center. I guess you followed that suggestion here! grin
