That's a good one too. If I feel up to it tonight I may track it down. The moon doesn't set untill 1 am so I may wheel the 15" out on my driveway. Debbie On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 2:14 PM, Michael Vanopstall <opstall@math.utah.edu>wrote:

No, it was NGC 6723 (actually in Sagittarius, but closest stars to figure from are in Corona Australis). This is a very easy one. It must have been just a bit to southerly for Messier. There's a bunch of good stuff nearby.
I like the look of 6541. I wish I had looked in my atlas yesterday. It should be barely doable from Utah at about 2:00 am these days. Also, maybe it's neighbor glob 6388 would be reasonable. Low, though.
