Also on November 21, 2008 I enjoyed two wonderful Globular Clusters. In clear but windy conditions with the temperature balmy at 56 degrees, I viewed M2 near Aquaruis: a dusty dim sphere - though spectacular being that is was clear so many distant stars made up this object (approx. 100 stars viewable). At magnitude 7.5, the central cluster could not be resolved.
I also visited the Globular Cluster M15 in Pegasus. Also with a magnitude of 7.5, but I found this cluster much more visible. Though I still could not resolve the center of the object, there were many bright stars toward the radial edge that could be independently distinguished.
