A beautiful, bright, easy-to-locate globular in Scorpius. It is just about a mere 5 minutes from the 3.21 mag red star in Scorpius between Shaula and eta Sagittarii. Absolutely easy to find and wonderful at mag 7.4. Shows a brightness gradient from center to periferri. It is quite large. It is strange that this is not a Messier object.
