Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6392
25" (4/5/16 - Coonabarabran, 318x): fairly bright, fairly small, round, 45" diameter, the surface brightness is fairly high and irregular (probably due to a superimposed mag 15.5 star on the southeast side). A mag 13 star is 50" WSW of center and a mag 15 star is at the southwest edge [20" from center]. Situated in a rich Apus star field with a mag 8.8 star 7' ESE.
