Congratulations Jimi and Akarsh on your visual observation. I guess this could very well be the first visual observation of this newly discovered object?!
I just quickly glanced through the paper. It says absolute visual magnitude -4.4 +/- 0.3 mag and distance modulus 19.14 +/- 0.1 mag. Thus, the visual magnitude must be 14.74 +/- 0.4 mag. That's not really faint. And the diameter is 0.8 arc minutes.
Those of you who succeeded in observing it, how would you compare this object with the faintest Palomar globular clusters?
