Overshadowed by its gigantic brethren the mighty Omega Centauri just 5deg away, the much smaller
and fainter NGC 5286 makes a beautiful pairing with a bright (but completely unrelated) K-M class
star and because of this, NGC 5286 is one of my favourite globular clusters to look at through a telescope.
