Notes:  This globular is rather less dense at the core than other more famous examples such as M13. This eighth magnitude object lies in the constellation Sagitta, The Arrow, and is located between the Dumbell Nebula and the bright summer star Altair. Digital Data Processing was used to bring out faint detail.
