M-9 |

M-9
is a nice globular about 12 degrees below and to the left of M-107.
It is similar in size and brightness to M-107 so is also much smaller and dimmer than M-10, but
it is still a nice view in a 8-10 inch scope, assuming you have dark
skies. M-9 is low enough to get lost in urban light pollution for
observers in the USA.
