We present observations of the stellar kinematics of the centre of the corecollapsed globular cluster M15 obtained with the MUSE integral fieldspectrograph on the VLT operating in narrow field mode. Thanks to the use ofadaptive optics, we obtain a spatial resolution of 0.1arcsec and are able toreliably measure the radial velocities of 864 stars within 8 arcsec of thecentre of M15 thus providing the largest sample of radial velocities everobtained for the innermost regions of this system. Combined with previousobservations of M15 using MUSE in wide field mode and literature data, we findthat the central kinematics of M15 are complex with the rotation axis of thecore of M15 offset from the rotation axis of the bulk of the cluster. Whilethis complexity has been suggested by previous work, we confirm it at highersignificance and in more detail.
