A less known globular in the constellation Hercules, a quite faint object. It doesn't split even at higher magnifications, I cannot discover a single separated star in it. If I didn't know what I'm looking at, I'd think that this may be a face-on galaxy. No wonder even Herscher catalogued this object as a planetary nebula. This would be a great challenge for amateur astronomers with smaller scopes.

Awesome sketches! I love it! I was curious what size and what kind of eyepiece were you using with each sketch? I do see the magnification power with each sketch. Thanks - let me know, email address
