| M-80 is one of the most compact and dense globular clusters. It's a little difficult for northern observers because it is usually low in the southern sky. The bright stars of Scorpius make it relatively easy to locate though. Even the f10 image shows M-80 as a small target. You should be able to see in in binoculars on a 90 mm scope. Be sure to look at the image taken with the HST. It clearly shows how tightly packed the stars of M-80 are. | |
