M15 - The Great Pegasus Cluster

Tonight Mike and Danielle caught the Great Pegasus Cluster. They found it by first finding Enif, the red nose of Pegasus. The Great Pegasus Cluster is in the same line from Baham to Enif about 1/2 the distance off of Enif. It was a bright globular cluster that was not as impressive as M13 but it was still quite the sight. The night was clear and dark (or as dark as it gets from our backyard).
