M92 • NGC 6341 • Globular Cluster

M92 — NGC 6341 — Globular Cluster
M92 is one of the most beautiful and compact globular clusters in the northern sky. Although M13 is better known, M92 is regarded by many observers as at least as beautiful: an extremely dense center, countless fine star points, and a rich population of old stars. The cluster is bright, easy to photograph, and displays an impressive amount of detail in long exposures.
