It is quite easy to find. Its a bit east to Tau scorpii. A first I thought it was M4 which I had found the same night. But later when I found this cluster was a bit far of Antares, I came to know that it was 'it'!

Nice bright globular at the Ophiuchus-Scorpius border.In fact Burnham's celestial handbook lists it under Scorpius.According to the Cartes du Ciel software its in Ophiuchus.Thru the 8.8mm UWA(104x)it was like a bright comet without tail.Bright center.No hint of resolution.

Very similar in appearance to M80, but a bit less condensation towards the middle. An easy round glow at 49x. No resolution into stars at 122x or 244x. Cannot say I noticed Burnham's "unusual irregular outline."
