Description:
Very large and bright globular cluster; at 40x I didn't see any stars,
but with averted vision I saw few very faint stars around globular,
and just sign of them in it. At 100x cluster is best resolved, it
seems slightly elongated (SW-NE), in the NW side I saw most of stars,
specially when I used averted vision.

Two bright stars near this globular (on the NW and SE).
