| M-56 is a rather small globular, but it is located in a very dense star field in the constellation of Lyra. My 15 minute exposure with the Nikon just barely captured it, so you may be able to spot it with binoculars. You should be able to see it with a 90 mm scope as a fuzzy star, not unlike a dim comet. I am very amazed regarding the number of stars the 90 sec exposure with the 8" LX 200 revealed. Digital processing and an object near the zenith can do wonders! | |
