Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6756
17.5" (7/27/92): at 280x, about two dozen mag 11.5 and fainter stars in a 6'x4' field surrounding a bright knot just east of center. A mag 13 star is at the NE edge of the knot. With concentration the central knot resolves into half a dozen very tightly packed mag 14 stars. The brightest mag 11.5 star in the cluster is 3' S of this knot. Set over unresolved background haze. Located 30' NE of open cluster NGC 6755.
8" (8/28/81): few faint stars at 100x over background haze.
