Hi Robert,
Very interesting.
It always strikes me how much M11 looks like a globular cluster in binoculars.
Not that it should make it one.
As much as we define the properties of an object, there exists objects that exhibit properties from different sets. For example, is the massive Omega Centauri the remains of a dwarf galaxy?
It can be difficult to differentiate clusters into open and globular clusters in nearby galaxies such as the LMC and SMC and M33.
Good read.
Thanks, Rob
