is pretty bright, pretty large, somewhat compressed
and has 15 pretty bright stars with a sprinkling of dimmer members
at 100X. |

H I 47 |
bright, little elongated, very rich, very compressed.
Resolved at 100X, going to 165X brings out a myriad of dimmer members
at the edge of resolution. This globular resides in a beautiful, rich
Milky Way field that provides a lovely backround (foreground?). |
