M-92
M-13 is probably the most well known globular clusteer in the constellation Hercules, but M-92 is a fine sight also.  It is a little dimmer and smaller than M-13, but still a very nice object.  The top image shown here was taken with my Orion MAK 500 guide scope and my 35 mm camera.  The field of view is about two degrees.   If you can see Hercules, you should be able to see M-92 in binoculars or a scope as smalls as a 90 mm.
