M 62


Photo by Pittendreigh

HOW TO FIND IT:

Draw a line from Delta, through Sigma and Alpha. Or sweep the area between Upsilon at the end of the scorpion's tail, and Antares, the brightest star in the constellation (make it a wide sweep, because M62 would not appear right on any imaginary line between these two stars.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

This will be a fantastic globular cluster set with the backdrop of a rich star field. It will be easily seen through binoculars.

This should be a visually impressive globular cluster to observe.
