NGC 6229, The Other Globular Cluster in Hercules

About this image

Given the famous M13 and the lovely M92, this is the other globular cluster in Hercules NGC 6229. This is four times further away than M13 or M92 and is consequently fainter and smaller.

This is an object I observed two years ago, and I wanted to see how the RC10 telescope would present it.
