Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6716
17.5" (5/10/91): about 40 stars visible in a 9' diameter, bright, fairly large but scattered. Divided in two groups; the SSW group includes a mag 8 star and two mag 10 stars. A mag 9 star is at the NE edge of the NNW group, which also includes several mag 10-12 stars in a curved arc. Pretty empty between these two groups with just four stars in the center. Not very impressive.
8": 20 stars mag 10-13 including a row of stars at the north edge.
