Description:
At 37x very dim and unresolved globular.  It is not too terribly interesting,
 it did not have much of a halo, and I decided not to push the magnification and continue on.  It took me a long time to find this one.  At mag 9.3 it was very unexciting and a disappointment.  I don’t think I will come back often to this one very often.
