Some Palomar Globulars, like Palomar 6, Palomar 7, Palomar 9, Palomar 10 and Palomar 11 are clusters of average size located nearby, yet obscured in our line of sight by dust. Other Palomar globulars, like Palomar 3, Palomar 4 and Palomar 14 are giants located in the far outer 123:, which is now known as a satellite of the Milky Way. Observation of different Palomar globulars greatly varies in the degree of difficulty depending on the cluster. Some are small and compact, others are very sparse, to the point where they may be hard to distinguish from foreground stars. 691:
when needed. In some Palomars, visual observers can resolve individual stars, while others look hazy. Palomar 9 (NGC 6717) is the easiest object to observe of the Palomar globulars, while Palomar 15 is regarded as the most difficult.

The Palomar globulars have been discovered fairly late due to them being very faint, heavily obscured, remotely located or having few member stars. For this reason, these were discovered only with the enormous 48-inch

The Palomar globulars can be observed and identified by amateur astronomers, however dark skies and high power are required. Astronomers have made reports on visual observations using 17.5 inch and larger
