NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 6333 17.5" (8/1/92): at 220x, bright, fairly large, 4' diameter. The bright core is elongated N-S somewhat like M4. The outliers or unrelated field stars appear to extend the halo E-W. The halo is fairly well resolved into two dozen mag 13.5-14.5 stars. The core is very mottled and lively and just breaks up into numerous, densely packed mag 14-15 stars. At 420x, the core is easily well-resolved and two very close double stars are at the west and east edges of the halo. The dark nebula B64 lies close SW. 13.1" (6/19/82): the central region is very bright and mottled. A number of faint stars are resolved in the outer region of the core at 150x as well as a number of stragglers. 8": very mottled, few stars resolved at edges at high power especially on the east side. Dark nebula B64 is close SW. NGC 6356 lies 75' NE and NGC 6342 75' SSE.
