Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6167
22" (6/28/06 - Hawaii): this bright cluster contains roughly 150 stars in a 10' region. The brightest mag 7.4 star (HD 14919) is on the west edge of the cluster and the richest region is just following this star. At the east edge of this rich group is a nice double star. Several curving strings and sprays of stars crisscross the cluster. NGC 6164/6165 lies 1.7¡ north.
8" (7/13/91 - Southern Baja): about 50 stars within a 10' diameter at 63x. Bright, fairly large, rich and pretty with both bright and faint stars. Includes many faint stars over unresolved haze. Includes curved arcs of stars and a nice string of stars to the south. The brightest mag 7.4 star is at the west side. Located on the Norma-Ara border. Observation from Baja.
