By Good Fortune, this night was excellent. This is a difficult globular (comparitively) and probably this was the best night to see it. It was very faint, quite small, and almost invisible. Eben on such a clear night, it required averted and periferral vision to see. Location is easy, but it is difficult to see. On a 8" f/8, 80x worked very well.

A medium-sized faint patch at 49x, detectable with direct vision, but needing averted vision to see at all well. Finding it with the Tirion Sky Atlas required a tough hop through a fairly star-poor region.
