| NGC6664 | 18:36.7 | -08 13 | Open Cluster | 7.8 | 16' | 4.2KLY | September 27 1997 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPlossl | | Adjacent to alpha-Scutum. Very loose. About a dozen stars in a 'boot' shape. |
| NGC6682 | 18:39.6 | -04 46 | Open Cluster/Star Cloud | | | | July 20 2020 | Culburra |
400mm f4.5 Dobsonian | 8-24mmBaaderZoom | | Listed variously as cluster or star cloud. At the position indicated by my Argo Navis computer I see a small
smattering of stars. Slightly north there is a rich star field. Notes in Issue 96 of Australian Sky & Telescope page 54 describe an 'absorption hole ...[that]
absorbs light from background stars' through which we see NGC6682. Interesting. |
| NGC6694; M26 | 18:45.2 | -09 24 | Open Cluster | 8.0 | 15' | 4.9KLY | September 27 1997 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPlossl | | Small clutch of stars; four of them form a somewhat 'Southern Cross' shape. |
| NGC6704 | 18:50.8 | -05 12 | Open Cluster | 9.2 | 6.0' | 5.9KLY | July 20 2020 | Culburra |
400mm f4.5 Dobsonian | 8-24mmBaaderZoom | | A small, distinct cluster that magnifies to resolve apabout 20 stars in a rough number 2 shape. |
| NGC6705; M11; Wild Duck Cluster | 18:51.1 | -06 16 | Open Cluster | 5.8 | 14' | 5.5KLY | August 2 1997 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPlossl | | Swasticka-shaped small, compressed cluster. |
| NGC6705; M11; Wild Duck Cluster | 18:51.1 | -06 16 | Open Cluster | 5.8 | 14' | 5.5KLY | July 20 2020 | Culburra |
400mm f4.5 Dobsonian | 8-24mmBaaderZoom | | A wonderful large and rich cluster with a bright field star at the apparent centre. Zooming in shows
more and more detail. The main block of stars is squarish. |
| NGC6712 | 18:53.1 | -08 42 | Globular Cluster | 8.2 | 7.2' | 25KLY | Aug 7 2004 | Jerrara Dam |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 9.7mmSP | | Large and very bright. Slight change in brightness from centre outwards. |
