Messier 19 (NGC6273) is a globular cluster in the constellation Opiuchus. Although it is a similar distance from Earth to M14 (28,700) it is not as bright and is only just visible using binoculars.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
