I had a very interesting view of it with a 12" at a dark site. You need a good chart to find it and high power to view it. It's the only glob in M31 that can be seen as non-stellar in amateur scopes.

Couple of threads about it:

I haven't been globular hunting in M31 for years.  I will give it a go in my new site.  Thanks for the reminder!

I'll be having a look for this at PSP if the skies play ball.
