1 Sept 2024, time 2145. Scope Orion XX16G, eyepiece ES 9/100 @200x, M30 Globular Cluster. The center is core is seems to be nicely compact and filled with stars. I was able to make out a half dozen chains of star coming out from the center. I also noticed this cluster does not have a name. It kind of reminds me of the Maserati Trident. Sounds like a good name for it.

I lost the sky before i could get more in. This one takes me to 99 of 110.

Nice description Mike. Maserati Trident has quite a ring to it! Some call it the Jellyfish Cluster.
