Globular Cluster Observations

 

Home > Objects Observed > Globular Clusters

The following is a list of the globular clusters observed at least once by me. Click on the object to go to it's drawing page, if sketch is available. All objects in black color are default observed with a 8" telescope and those in blue color are with a 12" telescope.

There are just 150 known globulars in the Milky-Way galaxy. Out of them some 20 need the largest amateur scopes. Of the remaining 130, another 30 are too far South for our latitude of even +13o. Hence my observations are out of the remaining 100 globulars only!
