Messier 30 (M 30)

Introduction | Map | My Own Photos | My Own Observations | References

On this page I collect my observations of the globular star cluster M 30 (NGC 7099) in the constellation Capricornus.

Introduction

The globular star cluster M 30 in the constellation Capricornus is, according to Stoyan, a typical globular star cluster that cannot be resolved in small telescopes. In the eVscope this is manifested by the very bright core.
