Description:
I could only see the central 5 arc-minutes of this 18'-wide globular, and it 
looked just like it does in my 25" when I'm looking at the whole thing! Pease 
1 was the secondary target here, but no one had a definitive map of its 
location; several people felt they saw a pinkish dot in there somewhere, but I 
did not. Spectacular just the same.
