Absolutely stunning globular cluster. This one was a bit hard to find despite it's size and magnitude. There are not many reference stars surrounding it. Once I found it, I observed it for many minutes. I saw ~50 resolveable stars with many being very bright. This will be one of my go-to objects for the rest of it's season.
