NGC 6284 is a globular cluster located in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is designated as IX in the galaxy morphological classification scheme and was discovered by the German-born British astronomer William Herschel on 22 May 1784. Its distance had previously been estimated at 49,900 light years from Earth,[5][3][6][7][8] but this was revised in 2023 to around 43,000 light years.[2] This same study, based on high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope optical observations, produced the first high-quality colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) of NGC 6284, extending down to about six magnitudes below its main sequence turn-off. The new observations moved its centre of gravity by 1.5–3 arcseconds from previous values, and its density profile showed a steep central cusp, suggesting that NGC 6284 is a post-core collapse (PCC) cluster.

The nearby metal-poor star HD 194598 [es] may be a recent runaway from NGC 6284.[9]
