Thank you Trevor for a great image of this highly concentrated globular.
This objects was called Dunlop 265 before the NGC catalogue came out.
James Dunlop found it in 1826 using a 9" speculum reflector at Parramatta and described it as
"A very bright round nebula, about 3’ or 4' diameter, very gradually bright to the centre. This has a fine globular appearance."
John Herschel was the next to see D265, it was #3152 in his catalogue.
