What Wikipedia says

NGC 6139 is a globular cluster of the Milky Way in the constellation Scorpius. It is located 3.6 kiloparsecs (10 kilolight-years) from the Galactic Center (less than half the distance of the Sun from the Galactic Center). The cluster appears visibly small and requires larger +12" aperture telescopes to view the core.
