Hi Molly, Suzy and all,

The star that the globular NGC 6441 appears to sit next to is G Scorpii, mag 3.2, spectral type K2. It is actually listed in my Night Sky Objects for Southern Observers. I included a number of globulars and galaxies near relatively bright stars after having done a search for them. Another nice one is the globular NGC 5286 near M Centauri, mag 4.6, spectral type G9.

Regards, Rob
