Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6134
18" (7/9/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 128x, this is a bright, fairly large open cluster, at least 10' diameter, with roughly 150 stars mag 10 and fainter. Many of the stars are arranged in chains, loops and rings although there is no central concentration. The brightest mag 9.3 star is on the SE side about 4' from the center. The Norma Milky Way background is very rich in this region.
