N6380 wikisky

The attached wikisky.org image shows N6380.
It is 35.4' SSW of the mag 4.3 star at the top left.
Note the four "bright" stars between them and the mag 9.8 star on the southern edge of 6380.
N6380 is difficult in my 16" scope because of that star.
John Herschel discovered N6380 with an 18.5" speculum reflector.
Ton 2 is 6.8' NW of the mag 4.3 star. (see Huey's map in post #9)
