Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6583
24" (7/7/13): excellent, very rich cluster at 175x with at least 50 stars mag 12-15, many of which are arranged in long intersecting lanes. Three distinct strings of stars stand out. Some brighter stars are off the south side. NGC 6573 (asterism) lies 25' due west.
17.5" (8/1/92): fairly faint, small, very rich. Contains 30 mag 13-15 stars in a 3'x2' field. Appears elongated SSW-NNE due to string of five stars through the center. Also a curving string of a half-dozen stars extends out of the cluster to the west. Three mag 11-12 stars are a few arc minutes off the SE edge.
8" (7/16/82): few faint stars resolved over haze, appear rich but stars too faint to resolve well.
