I have not observed this object.
I obtained the calibrated lights frames used to create the final image from Telescope Live. The frames were imaged by the CHI-1-CMOS Telescope at the El Sauce Observatory in Chile.
Because this object lies in the hub of the Milky Way it is heavily obscured. This is another object that I think of as being “shy.”
In a 2019 paper by Otolani, Nardiello, Perez-Villegas, Bica, and Barbuy the blue horizontal branch of this cluster was clearly resolved. They determined that Terzan 10 is currently located in the bulge volume but
Gaia DR2 proper motion, together with a better distance determination and recent literature radial velocities, show that the cluster has a typical halo orbit that is passing by the hub region. Terzan 10 is not a component of the hub. This was the first time a halo intruder was identified in the hub.
