Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6107
18" (7/13/07): the largest and possibly brightest of 12 members of a cluster appears faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, broad concentration and then suddenly increases to a very small brighter nucleus. Situated just 0.9' SE of a mag 9 star that detracts from viewing. NGC 6105 and near stellar companion lie 2.6' SW.
17.5" (5/10/86): this is the brightest member of the NGC 6107 cluster. Fairly faint, small, almost round, small bright core. A mag 9 star (SAO 65201) lies just 0.9' NNW of center! Forms a pair with NGC 6105 2.6' SW.
