Steve's Notes

===== NGC 6352 11" (8/8/04 - Haleakala Crater): at 127x appears fairly bright, moderately large, ~5' diameter, broadly concentrated to a 2' core. Fairly well-resolved into ~30 stars, particularly along the south and SW side of the halo. A few faint stars are just resolved directly over the core. 18" (7/10/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): fairly bright, fairly large. Even at 128x, fairly well-resolved into ~75 stars. Rather loose concentration class with a broad concentration to a moderately bright 3' core. The irregular halo extends to nearly 8' diameter. Set in a rich Milky Way field. 8" (7/13/91 - Southern Baja): moderately bright, fairly large, 5' diameter, fairly low surface brightness, not condensed, brighter core but no sharp nucleus. Partially resolved into 5-10 faint stars mostly on the SW side. 13" (7/12/86): faint, small, diffuse, low surface brightness spot. A few faint stars are off the SW edge but there is no resolution. This is the farthest southern globular observed from Northern California (Digger Pines).
