Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 6735 is a clustering of stars around SAO 142915 (JH's position refers to
this star), though the center of the cluster seems to be a bit southwest of 
the star.  It matches JH's description quite well, and would probably stand 
out nicely in a wide-field eyepiece.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6735

17.5" (8/1/92): about 50 mag 13 stars in a 10' field which are very uniform in brightness.  The exception is a mag 7.2 multiple star (SA0 142915 = h874) on the north side, which has three faint companions including a mag 13.4 star at 10" and a mag 12 companion at 22".  This is a large but basically faint group.  The outliers form a circular pattern and the west to north side is well-defined by a semicircle of stars.  Planetary nebula NGC 6741 lies ~30' due east.
