Globular cluster M22 in Sagittarius, the brightest globular cluster visible from the northern hemisphere, is a conspicuous naked eye object. This color picture was made from CCD images taken in June 1995 at the Burrell Schmidt telescope of the Warner and Swasey Observatory of the Case Western Reserve University, located on Kitt Peak in southwestern Arizona, during the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program operated at the Kitt Peak National Observatory and supported by the National Science Foundation.
