I think I've seen this one earlier but this time, it appeared beautiful, showing hints of resolution with a bright centre. One peculiar fact is that it appears brighter than M13 to my eyes!
M92 (Globular Cluster, in Hercules)

A beautiful globular at 49x. Larger than NGC6229 (which I had just looked at), the outer reaches were clearly resolved into mottled stars. At 122x even the center began to show a mottled appearance, with some darker patches here and there. At 244x the center section appeared irregular. I think 122x gave the most aesthetically pleasing view.
