Thanks Colin. It's a strange one. I certainly wouldn't have picked it as a globular when I first saw it

The mag 5 star 35-Nu2 Sagitarii really makes it difficult to get a good view of it,but by putting it out of the Fov I was able to count 9 stars,some of which were around 14.4 mag.
Yes you're right Steve when you say it doesn't look like a globular cluster but deeper images show it's globular structure.
Love you pics Steve,they always give me something I haven't observed before to look at.

Cheers

Thanks Ron. Glad you like the images. I always try and pick the less well known stuff. If you haven't already seen it then give Palomar 8 a try. To me it's quite easy and I don't know how it missed getting a NGC or IC designation. Palomar 7 (AKA IC1276) is also worth a look.
