This beautiful but faint globular was resolved almost completely thru averted vision (or atleast thats how I saw it). The sky was hazy. The globular was very faint, quite large and quite sparse. It looked like a nebula. Averted an periferral vision were required to get the best view. It is easily found by moving from Delta SGE to Zeta SGE and moving perpendicularly to intersect the line joining Delta SGE to the tip of the arrow etc.

A very easy find in Sagitta. A nice globular at 130x, but cant hold a candle to M13.
