Description

A brief period of clearing this past Saturday gave me a chance to quick setup and get almost 2 hours on this beautiful globular. Clusters make easy targets for my Bortle 8 skies and this one does not disappoint. I always enjoy the mix of both new and old stars and the feature in the core known as "The Propeller". Also in the lower left quadrant of the frame are the spiral galaxies IC 4617 and NGC 6207.
