| Description | This object is a fine example of the uncondensed type of globular cluster and has a concentration class of 12. It lies at the end of a long dark nebula that has been christened the "dark doodad". There is much dust in this area and the cluster is somewhat reddened as a consequence. The bright adjacent star is HD 107947 at magnitude 6.8. |
