Data: mag 7,2 size 11'

Description:
Bright, very dense globular of about 8’ diameter (at 342x). At 78x it resolves
into few faint stars at its edge. At 244x the very dense and bright core is
still not resolved into stars. The halo contains stars of 13mag and fainter.
342x resolves the core partially and the globular fills more than half of the
FOV (12’). The eastern edge appears looser than the western side. Very
beautiful!
