More Challenging:
NGC 6453- In Scorpio. A 4-for-the-price-of-one special: Resides within the lie of sight of M7, with the open cluster Tr30 and the planetary nebula PK356-4.1 also within the bounds of M7.
NGC 6256- in Scorpio
NGC 6426- in Ophiuchus
NGC 6235- in Ophiuchus
'Yeah, good luck':
UKS-1...the dimmest at +17.3 mag, or thereabouts RA: 17:54:27.2, DEC: -24:08:43
AM1 (ESO 201-10)...the farthest at 400Kly, RA: 3:55:02.7, DEC: -49:36:52, about +15.7 mag
Thanks for these renormalised!
An invitation has been made to the imaging fraternaty to have a go at these last two GC's. Thanks David.
Clear skies and happy viewing,
Mental.
