NGC 5593
18" (7/5/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): picked up at 76x as fairly striking elongated group of stars. At 228x, this is a distinctive group of 11 brighter mag 10/11 stars including a nice pair (h 4675 = 10/11 at 8") and perhaps 30 stars total in a 7'x2.5' group that is quite elongated E-W. The cluster is well-detached in the field. In the center is a nearly 1.5' region devoid of stars which separates the cluster into two subgroups with the double star just following this vacuity. Appears fully resolved, even at low power.
