 Messier 10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Messier 10 (also known as M10, Globular Cluster M10 or NGC 6254) is a globular cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus.
M10 has an apparent diameter of some 20', about 2/3 the apparent diameter of the moon, which translates to a spatial diameter of 83 light years at its estimated distance of 14,300 light years.
Viewed through medium sized telescopes it appears about half that size (8' to 9'), as its brighter core is only 35 light years across.

Even at this low magnification I can see that this is not your normal globular; it is loose in nature, uncertain whether it wants to fall into the Globular Cluster or dense Open Cluster camp.
The globular has a rather even distribution of light with gradual and subtle brightening towards the core.
Bumping the magnification up to 124x did little to improve the view although it may have been possible with study to tease a bit more detail from the globular; in general 124x seemed to be too much magnification for M10 as it became dimmer.

 [52.02] The Luminosity Function and Color-Magnitude Diagram of the Globular Cluster M10   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
We present wide-field (24 arcmin x 24 arcmin) BVI photometry of the differentially-reddened globular cluster M10 (NGC 6254).
Extensive artificial star tests have been performed in order to examine the incompleteness as a function of cluster magnitude and radius, and we have applied the extinction map of von Braun et al.
Because the luminosity function acts as a probe of the number of stars at different evolutionary states, the relative number of stars at each point can give clues to the physics involved in their evolution.
