Notes:

M56 is located in a very busy star field and this is masking the outer parts of the cluster so in a way the cluster is mostly central core. The whole thing is no bigger than the core of M92. There is a noticeable arc of four equal stars on the SE edge. The core is grainy but without resolution.
