NGC5466

Located in the constellation Bootes, approximately 52000 light years from Earth, lies the globular cluster NGC 5466. It is designated as a class XII cluster, meaning that it has relatively non-concentrated stars towards the core compared to a class I cluster.  This last fact starting me wondering if my scope would be able to resolve the "gaps" in the central core...... note also the various background galaxies.
