Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6388
18" (7/8/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 171x, this bright globular appears moderately large, round and granular but with no definite resolution. The appearance was very symmetric and strongly concentrated with a blazing core that ranks as one of the highest surface brightness gc cores.
13" (7/12/86): bright at 214x, moderately large, increases to a small very bright core. Has a grainy, lively appearance but no resolution.
8" (6/19/82): bright, moderately large, intense core, fainter halo, no resolution.
