I barely could granulate this cluster. The brightest stars in the cluster are only 14th mv. (Catelan, M et al. in The Astronomical Journal, Volume124, Issue 1, pp. 364-378.) |

Crocket State Park, VA | O-15 | 2019/Aug/29 23:17:19 | There is a strong impression of resolution with the O 15. There are a few stars brighter than 14mv, so resolution was possible.

The stars are 14 mv and fainter, although with averted vision, the cluster was well granulated. I expect I was glimpsing 15th mv stars. Much smaller than M55. |

Approximately 100-300 stars are resolved, with beautiful chains of stars seeming to come from the center of the cluster. At 50x, the stars were so compressed that it was difficult to see any resolution. |

It stands alone in a sparsly populated region of the sky, and is extremely condensed. It was well resolved in the Celestron, but I found myself wishing for a telescope ten times its aperture, and dark skies to go with it. |

Not as striking as M 75. The published H-R diagram shows the brightest stars are 12... mv (Buonanno, R, et all in Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, vol. 74, no.3, Sept. 1998) |

Aladin/DSS: They are indeed foreground star chains, but only 2 stars per chain, with the cluster center connecting them. |

It was more easily seen when the telescope was slewing. That I saw it at all with a 20cm was amazing. A very challenging object. |
