Looking rather more globular than some other globulars, M53 can be found in Coma Berenices, also home to a multitude of galaxies. M53 is very condensed, with only hints of outlying areas visible with a large telescope. The NGC5035 referred to in the drawing notes should be NGC5053. It is another globular.
