250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 32mmSWA, 20mmWA | | Spotted with the 32mm as a large but very faint glow. Beyond the 20mm couldn not see it at all. Pin-point centre, like a star in the middle of a planetary nebula.
Best seen at low power with averted vision. I would not have picked it as a globular cluster. |
