Re: Faint Globular near M11?

The nearest globular to M11 is NGC 6712 (roughly 2.5 degrees south of M11). I have seen this one in my Nexstar 9.25 under magnitude 5 skies on a number of occasions, and it is pretty nice at moderate to high power. It resolves fairly well and has an unusual appearance (elongated with a slightly triangular shape), although its component stars are faint. Clear skies to you.
