Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 6525.  Though listed as "nonexistent" in RNGC, there is an obvious poor
cluster of bright stars just where JH placed it.  It covers about 10 arcmin,
and has a tight core of half a dozen stars.  The position I've given in the
table is for this core.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6525

17.5" (7/24/95): bright, large, very scattered group.  On the west side is the prominent subgroup highlighted by a pair of mag 9.5/10 stars at 32" separation with three other mag 12/13 stars within 1'.  There are about two dozen stars total in a 5' rectangular group with the brighter stars scattered around the outline but no dense spots or core.  Appears to be an asterism with no distinct borders.
