Description:
Beautiful! Although a magnitude dimmer than M7, it looks much better.
At 56x (FOV around 70') if fills the FOV with ~ 60 *. The cluster is
slightly eliptical, with dimensions 20' x 25'.
Everything is filled with stars.
Few minutes later, I watch it while it was setting. Even more beautiful
because it looks bigger (just like the moon!).
