Description

I've been chasing Deep Sky objects for a long time but this object remains one of my favorites. It is

my go to object when I'm having trouble trying to decide what to observe. To me this object is

a testament to the immensity of outer space. It is located in a very rich star field and there seems

to be layer upon layer of stars going deeper and deeper into space with no apparent end. I've

always had trouble with the concept of infinity but viewing this object through an eyepiece

definitely reinforces the validity of the concept.
