On May 25, I captured Messier 71 (M 71), a loosely concentrated globular cluster in the constellation Sagitta. I noted it's located approximately 12 000 to 13 000 light‑years away from Earth. M 71 is less dense than many other globular clusters—its stars are more spread out—making it somewhat challenging to delineate its core clearly. It reaches its annual culmination around midnight and is best observed in mid‑July.
