Data: mag 9.8  size 2.98'
Position: RA 19:45  DEC -08:00
Description:
In Aquila, at ~ 2° SE of Kappa Aql. Although the magnitude of this cluster is rather low (9,8), but high for an object of the catalogue of Palomar, I tried it. At the beginning. First, I believed to have a success because I saw a stellar object of appearance at Pal 11 spot. However, I had doubts about this observation and, after checks, the object observed was star TYC 5724-915-1. On my notes, I mentionned to see a very weak nebulosity close to the SE end of this star, but it is too elusive to regard this globular cluster as truly observed.
