Bright, easily found and viewed. It is similar to M3 and M2, but is almost unresolvable even at high power of 170x on a 8" f/8.The field shows two stars on two opposite sides of the cluster

This globular was easily seen this evening. I could even resolve some individual stars around the edges. I also went on a little open cluster spree. I observed m52 , m39 and m29 in Cygnus. m29 was a little dim but with averted vision I was able to resolve about 15 or so dim stars. Then clouds moved in and ruined my evening.
