On this page I collect my observations of the globular star cluster M 28 (NGC 6626) in the constellation Sagittarius.

 

Introduction

The globular star cluster M 28 is located in the constellation Sagittarius, and Stoyan writes that it is well worth seeing. To my eyes, it appeared definitely smaller than the nearby M 22.
