Ngc6752

Looks pretty mushy compared to Mike's. I'm having trouble getting and keeping focus with this scope.

Pavo globular cluster NGC6752.
"NGC 6752 was first identified by one James Dunlop of Parramatta on 30 June 1826, who described it as an irregular bright nebula which could be resolved into a cluster of many stars, highly compressed at the centre. This corresponds with a core region densely populated with stars around 1.3 light-years in diameter, which indicates it has undergone core collapse. The cluster lies around 13,000 light-years distant and is one of the closer globular clusters to Earth."
