Description:
Huge cluster that is completely resolved into stars at 342x. At that magnification it
looks almost like a very dense open cluster. M4 does not have a condensed center
like M15 and at high magnification the cluster looks rather unspectacular. M4 is
definitely an object for lower powers.
