Practically impossible globular, like its precursor in the Messier catalog. The globular is so faint that I hardly saw anything. Careful use of averted vision showed a large hazy patch just above a star. Simply too faint, or maybe it was the moon that had just risen by then. Best view was a 83x on my scope.Its very close neighbour is the successor in the Messier catalog, M73.
