Post Ngc 6027 and harvard 10

On 7 june i had a great night . Great seeing and transparency. Saw lot of stuff but one great surprise. Ngc 6027 is a small and very concentrated open cluster on Norma. And just to the north of it stands Harvard 10. Both together become one of bigest showpieces of the southern sky. If a little further north will be one of the most famous targets for small scopes on the sky.

yes, 6067 is a nice cluster

It seems that Ngc6067 is on several lists. Besides it being Caldwell 89 it is on the Astronomical League southern list so I made a point of taking a peek at it back in March of this year on a trip down to South Australia.

Here is what I was able to jot down at the time and it seems to be one of those clusters without a wide range in magnitudes which can be nice in it's own way as these can seem like a fine blanket of stars. I did not catch Harvard 10 at the time. Below is from 3/17/2010 in a 12" Bintel Dob from Arkaroola Australia.
