Hi Marc

Jean Dufay, Pierre Berthier and Bernard Morignat discovered this GC in 1954 and I believe it was at the l'Observatoire de Haute-Provence, hence the Haute-Provence 1 designation.

I also understand that another French astronomer, Agop Terzan, discovered the Terzan GCs at the same observatory.

Vive la France !

Cheers

Dennis
