Last time I visited NGC 5139 was only a few day ago, you know from where. In Jimi's 48" we looked at the glob with around 287x and we were IN. With bad seeing it looks like we all were drunk and 17000Lj closer to the GC.
With the naked eye the glob looks like a washed out and somewhat diffuse star.
Definitely always a cool thing to see that object as a mid European.
