| Description | Discovered by Johann Elert Bode (discoverer of Bode's Nebula, aka M81) in 1777, cataloged independently by Charles Messier in 1781, and first resolved as stars (not as a smudge) by William Herschel. This is a very attractive Globular Cluster which is much less known than M13, which is just a few degrees away. Why? It rises a little later, and it's a little smaller. Still I think I like it better. Just sayin... |
