On this page I collect my observations of the globular star cluster M 107 (NGC 6171) in the constellation Ophiuchus/Serpent Bearer.
The globular star cluster M 107 is located in the constellation Ophiuchus/Serpent Bearer and fairly down south. According to Stoyan, it is the faintest of the globular star clusters in constellation Ophiuchus.

Find: M 107 is located below the star zeta Ophiuchus (a little to the left) at the middle bottom of constellation Ophiuchus (see map above).
Identify: If you found the star zeta Ophiuchus (at the middle bottom of constellation Ophiuchus), you will also be able to identify M 107.
