[AZ-Observing] Re: Monoceros observations

Speaking of looking more often, I would be interested in reobserving
M53, a globular cluster in Coma, of which Scotty waxes poetic: "its star
sprinklings are magnificent in a 12.5", where faint streams of curving
stars run out from the central blaze in all directions.  Smyth called it
an 'interesting ball of innumerable worlds.' "
