Hi Simon & All,

Nice report mate. See you have included NGC 6362 whcih is a nice "loose" GC in Lupus. This one has an oddity like M4 -- a bar of resolved stars that crosses it centrally. It is more apparent visually than in images where it tends to be swamped a bit.

In this image:

It crosses the cluster from about 8.30-2.30 though it isn't easy to see.

Oh and BTW it's not "Capricorn" but "Capricornus" -- unless you are an astrologer!


Best,

Les D
