This is an, extremley, extremley faint globualr in the stinger of Scorpious, and I have thought about searching for this object, but at magnitude 11.5, I would think that this object would not stand out very well in a monster scope, I have read that this globular has been detected in moderate size scopes, and is very, very faint, and extremely small, (30 arcseconds), and it appears as one of the members as a faint double star, so this object is a challenge even in the largest scopes, I plan on seeing this object, but it is so low in the Southern sky, from my location...clear skies
