M92 is a fine GC to look at using telescopes. In April 2019, I enjoyed views using my 10-inch, this year other GCs like M53. M92 has a nice bunch of halo stars that you can resolve with larger telescopes and see around the brighter core. The 10-inch gave very good views compared to my 90-mm refractor model.
