NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 6441 17.5" (7/14/99): at 220x appears moderately bright, round, ~2.7' diameter, fairly sharp concentration with a prominent 1' core. A mag 11 foreground star is at the southwest edge of the halo (1.3' SW of center), a mag 13.5 star is just inside the west edge of the halo (1.2' from center), and a mag 12.5-13 star is just off the northwest side. No definite resolution was visible although the globular has a granular appearance. Located just 4.5' following G Scorpii (V = 3.2). H 1-36, a symbiotic star (mimics a stellar planetary), is located just 1.3' NW of the mag 3.2 star! 13" (6/18/85): very bright core, mottled halo but no certain resolution. Located just 4.5' E of G Scorpii (V = 3.2), which hampers viewing. 8" (5/21/82): bright, intense core. 80mm finder (7/14/99): the globular is easily visible at 21x in the finder.
