NGC 6477
24" (8/23/14): at 375x, extremely faint and small, round, 6" diameter. At moments it appeared essentially stellar (perhaps only the nucleus seen). Located 1.6' SE of NGC 6470 and 1.9' NE of NGC 6471.
17.5" (8/25/95): extremely difficult, perhaps 10" diameter, round. Only detected for moments using averted vision and knowing the exact location. Located 1.6' SE of NGC 6470 = UGC 10974 (misidentified as NGC 6472 in modern catalogues). A mag 14.5 star is just 30" due north.
