Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6355
17.5" (7/27/92): fairly faint, fairly small, 2' diameter, slightly elongated N-S, gradually increases to a 1' core. At 280x, appears granular and three or four very faint mag 15 stars are just visible. The brightest two stars are on north side of core.
8" (5/21/82): faint, small, round, diffuse, no resolution.
