| M-28 is about three degrees west of M-22 in the Sagittarius star clouds. However, M-28 is about 1/3 the size of M-22 and is almost two magnitudes dimmer. If you can see the constellation Sagittarius, look for M-28 about one degree from the 2.8 magnitude star Kaus Borealis. | |

 This image was taken with my Nikon film back attached to the Orion MAK 500 riding piggy back on the LX 200. The bright star in the lower left of the picture is Kaus Borealis. Two 10 minute exposures were combined for this image. |
