Description

Famous globular cluster in ‎Ophiuchus. This is a rather loose cluster for a globular cluster, but this allows you to see a couple of small galaxies at about 7 o'clock, about halfway from the centre of the cluster to the edge of the frame (PGC 1103219). There are a few more small galaxies to the lower right of the image.
