Description:
At 37x very dim and unresolved globular. It is not too terribly
interesting, it did not have much of a halo, and I decided not to push
the magnification and continue on. It took me a long time to find
this one. At mag 9.3 it was very unexciting and a disappointment. I
don't think I will come back often to this one very often.
