NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 6795. The NGC description, "Cl, Ri, bet 2 sts 9", transcribed correctly from GC, doesn't really do justice to JH's original description: "The first of 3 sts 9 m, nearly in the parallel, joined by a rich clustering portion of the Milky Way." I sometimes wonder if JH wrote the GC descriptions or had a clerk do the chore for him. I've made the position a little closer to the middle of the three stars. That seems to represent the "rich clustering portion" better than JH's own place nearer the first star. I've also given the positions of the three stars. ----- Brent Archinal ignores JH's "cluster" and "clustering" comments -- even though this is pretty clear on the DSS2R image, especially southwest of the second star -- concentrating instead on the three stars themselves. He in fact has this object as a triple star. Given JH's description, I have to add some of the other stars in the area. While I doubt that this is a true cluster, it is certainly a "clustering", just as JH described it.

===== NGC 6795 17.5" (6/24/95): about 40 stars in a 8' elongated group WSW-ENE. At the west end of the group is mag 8.3 SAO 124619 and the east end is marked by the similar SAO 124629 7.5' E. Between these stars is an enhancement of mag 12 and 13 stars and a single mag 9 star (SAO 124627). Appears as a slightly richer group that stands out reasonably well at 100x because of the associated bright stars.
