Description:
This is a nice globular, fairly easy to resolve. At 188X, stars can be seen almost all the way into the core. The core itself is bright, nearly stellar, and the edges fade away quickly. The outer edges of the cluster are a little non-uniform, giving it a not-quite-globular shape. Many more stars are resolved at 305X
