===== NGC 6062 24" (6/13/15): at 260x; fairly faint to moderately bright, fairly small, oval 4:3 SSW-NNE, ~36"x27", broad weak concentration but no distinct nucleus. Four brighter stars are in the field including mag 9.8 SAO 101926 4' NW and mag 9.0 HD 144621 5' SW. Forms a close (physical) pair with NGC 6062B = MCG +03-41-122 just 1.2' SW. At 375x the companion appeared extremely faint, very small, round, 12"-15" diameter, only visible occasionally. It is situated directly on a line with HD 144621 to the southwest. 17.5": fairly faint, fairly small, oval SW-NE, weak concentration, fairly diffuse.
