About NGC 6752
NGC 6752 (C93) is catalogued as a globular cluster in Pavo. Its J2000 position is RA 19:10:52, Dec -59:59:04, corresponding to 287.7171 degrees RA and -59.9846 degrees Dec. The local catalogue places it about 13,000 light-years away. Its referenced angular extent is approximately 20.4 by 20.4 arcminutes.
Observing tips
StarWatchr rates this as an easy target at magnitude 5.4. It is associated with summer observing, with midnight placement typically strongest around July. From 52 degrees north its theoretical meridian altitude is about 0 degrees; local horizons and the live altitude chart determine the practical window.
Its brightness makes it a practical binocular or small-telescope candidate when it is well above the horizon.
What to expect
The SIMBAD classification for the matched source is GlC. A published radial velocity value is -26.2 km/s. The SIMBAD record currently connects it to 2139 bibliographic references.
Its roughly 20.4 arcminute span suits a medium field of view. Use the listed 20.4 by 20.4 arcminute extent to check framing, and treat catalogue magnitude as integrated brightness rather than a direct measure of visual contrast.
