Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 6832 is similar in appearance to NGC 6828 (which see) -- a few dozen 
fainter stars are scattered around a bright "central" star, HD 187748 = SAO 
32016 in this case.  However, because the background here is not dominated by 
the Milky Way, the cluster stands out more on the POSS1 prints and on the DSS.
There are even a few galaxies seen through the cluster.  I've put the center
a couple of arcminutes northeast of the star.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6832

17.5" (8/25/95): this group consists of roughly two dozen stars in a 6' region surrounding mag 6.7 SAO 32016.  Most stars are mag 12-13 with a few brighter stars, including a mag 10 star 2' SE of the mag 6.7 star and mag 8.5 SAO 32007 5' W on the west side of group.  Visually, this group appears to be a scattered asterism although there are a dozen mag 12-14 stars within 3' (mostly west) of the bright star.  Listed as nonexistent in RNGC.
