Description

Messier 75 is the most centrally concentrated globular cluster within the Messier catalog. Visually is appears like a much smaller and dimmer NGC 104 (47 Tuc) which is also very centrally concentrated.

Without tooting our own horn, this is the most highly resolved image of Messier 75 taken if you disregard Hubble (taken in space) and the remarkable Chart-32 team (32" in Chile). Our humble 10" punches well above its aperture.
