Are you interested in contributing to the GCVC?
Most of the globular clusters are better visible from the southern hemisphere and I am based out of Italy, Europe, northern hemisphere. If you have images of the missing globular clusters and want to contribute to fill the GCVC please send a mail to contribute@gcvc.cloud with the image and the acquisition data.
