Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 6268.  JH's position is for a double star in the western part of the 
cluster.  The position that I estimated falls within a void in the middle of 
the cluster, and does not include a possible extension to the north where 
there is an additional clump of stars.  Proper motions and photometry will be 
needed to tell us if any of these are actual cluster members.

NGC 6268

8" (6/27/81): 30-40 stars mag 10-12.5 in a 10' diameter.  A denser group of stars in the center is arranged in a line.
