| Description: | |||||||||||
| A globular cluster which may be visible to eagle-eyed observers with the naked eye under very dark skies. This impressive cluster is easily seen with binoculars as a round fuzzy patch. M15 has a bright compressed core surrounded by a faint halo of stars. With a larger instrument more stars become visible in the outer periphery with some brighter members resolved in the center. M15 is one of only a handful of globular clusters known to contain a planetary nebula. | |||||||||||
