During my amateur astronomy days I used to spend most of my time viewing nebulas and planets. Then one day I focused my Meade on a globular star cluster. It was like looking into a bowl of diamonds.
Hugh and series glob of stars.
Actually, it has been decided that it’s actually a core of a dwarf galaxy, not a globular at all.
I regularly can catch Omega Cent from Savannah. It just clears the horizon for a few hours in the Spring. Through a scope, it’s a marvelous sight. In Binoculars, it has a red tinge from atmospheric effects.
Further south, it is beyond description.
