| Negatives - October 1998 | The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules shines at Mag. 5.7 and can be seen by the naked eye on very clear skies from a dark site as a fuzzy star in the Hercules square. In larger telescopes, the "fuzzy" ball resolves itself into the splendor of the ball of pinpoint stars that it truly is. When positioned in the sky, it tends to be one of the first and last objects observed for the evening. The small Galaxy visible in the lower right corner is NGC 6207 which shines at Mag. 12.2. |
