Description

NGC 6528 is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. It is approximately 25.8 kly from our solar system.  It has an apparent magnitude of about 11 and a diameter of about 16 arcminutes. NGC 6528 is located southwest of NGC 6522, another globular cluster. Both are located in Baade's Window, a relatively clear area near the galactic equator. NGC 6528 is unusually metal-rich for a globular cluster, and is very similar in composition to NGC 6553, suggesting an origin in a similar environment.
