Finding globular clusters that belong to other galaxies is an amazing experience. In the article I published in the November issue of Astronomy on "Secrets of the Pinwheel Galaxy", I pointed out the location of one of M33's globular clusters, C39, which can be seen through a 16-inch telescope. However, there are several others that can be seen in images of M33. This map shows the location of C39 and three other globular clusters, C26, U49, and U62.
