Palomar 9 (NGC 6717)

It's a while since I've visited the Palomar globular clusters and this is the first time I've imaged this one which is the brightest. It never should have been on the Palomar list of course as it had already been cataloged as NGC 6717. It's a fairly ordinary globular being right next to a 5th magnitude star. In this orientation it looks to me like a large camera mounted on a tripod so perhaps the tripod cluster might be an appropriate name?

Cheers

Steve
