Category: Globular cluster.
Class: V

Data: mag 7.5 size 8.9'
Position: RA 21:40 DEC -23:11
Description:
In the Capricorn, more 3° SE of Zeta Cap. This cluster resembling of much other globulars like M69, M70 and M54. Of low dimension, M30 presents a good degree of concentration but averted vision didn't help. I notice a weak star at the position 3 hours, very close to M30, which is, in fact, SAO 190531 (magv = 8,6).
