On this page I collect my observations of the globular star cluster NGC 6229 in the constellation Hercules.
The globular star cluster NGC 6229 in the constellation Hercules is rather small and, together with M 13 and M 92 the third globular star cluster in constellation Hercules. NGC 6229 is an intermediate-metallicity globular cluster with two distinct generations of stars, and may be the remnant core of a spheroidal dwarf galaxy.
