Description:
Really beautiful globular at every magnification, nicest on the
northern hemisphere. At 40x very well resolved, even better at
100x. Seems perfectly round with obvious brightening toward its
center. Completely resolved. In the eastern part of the cluster I
could see an arc of five stars brighter than others. In its outer
halo region are several brightest stars in the cluster. There are
some slightly brighter stars in the SE and NW of the
cluster. Sketch is available at the mentioned URL.
