M92
|
|
About this Object: |
Forever to be regarded as
the "other" globular in the constellation Hercules, M92 doesn't get the
credit it deserves. Slightly smaller, and slightly more faint than it's
bigger neighbor, M13, M92 is every bit as spectacular. Just one look of
the photographs should give enough indication as to the quality of both
objects. (to compare, see M13
<here>).
Visually, this object is
quite apparent in scopes of all sizes in dark skies. While it's not
quite as easy to resolve the stars at the center of the cluster as with
M13, a larger scope will actually reveal more stars since the core
itself appears a little more graduated, with more levels of brightness
throughout the cluster itself. |
