M19 (Globular Cluster, in Ophiuchus)
Observer: John Callender (e-mail: jbc@west.net, web: http://www.west.net/~jbc/)
Instrument: 8-inch Dobsonian reflector Location: Carpinteria, CA, USA
Light pollution: light Transparency: fair Seeing: good
Time: Sat Jul 5 07:45:00 1997 UT Obs. no.: 199
Larger and brighter than NGC 6293, fairly uniform (i.e., not condensed). A somewhat oblong glow, appearing longer north/south than east/west. Begins to show hints of resolution at 122x. Checking Burnham's afterwards, was gratified to read that "M19 is one of the most oblate globulars." PSS print also shows the obvious elongation north/south.
