NGC 6782
30" (10/12/15 - OzSky): at 303x; bright, large, oval 3:2 N-S, ~1.2'x0.8', sharply concentrated with an intense core that increases steadily to a very bright stellar nucleus. Located 3' N of mag 9 HD 181407. Several faint stars are nearby including a mag 16 star at the northeast edge of the halo just 25" from center, a mag 14/16 double star 1' E of center (about 12" separation), a mag 15 star 1.7' SSE of center and a mag 16.8 star at the south edge, 0.6' from center. The stars were sketched and later verified on Aladin.
