The globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341; mag 6.4) in Hercules will be well placed, high in the sky. It will reach its highest point in the sky at around midnight local time.
At a declination of +43°08', it is easiest to see from the northern hemisphere but cannot be seen from latitudes much south of 26°S.
From Washington, it will be visible all night. It will become visible around 22:13 (MDT) as the dusk sky fades, 52° above your north-eastern horizon. It will then reach its highest point in the sky at 01:34, 83° above your northern horizon. It will be lost to dawn twilight around 04:57, 51° above your north-western horizon.
At magnitude 6.5, M92 is quite faint, and certainly not visible to the naked eye, but can be viewed through a pair of binoculars or small telescope.
The position of M92 is as follows:
| Object | Right Ascension | Declination | Constellation | Magnitude | Angular Size |
| M92 | 17h17m00s | +43°08' | Hercules | 6.5 | 11'12" |
