Description:
I was very surprised by this one. Listed mag is 9.1, but I found this
GC to have VERY low surface brightness. Somewhat difficult. Could not
resolve any real detail . Irregular shape to the edges. Very
LARGE. but Looked more like a faint Open Cluster . Could only get
15-20 stars resolved.
