I had a look at these 5 objects last night with my 12" Dob.

D559 this large dark nebula is easily seen at low power.
N6744 Galaxy has a bright core in a large ill-defined area
N6752 magnificent, the 3rd brightest globular
M55 this globular has a bit missing, like it is being eclipsed
N6861 Galaxy is faint and small, next to two mag 12 stars

Dunlop's position for N6861 is 16.4' away in pa 280.
Maybe he saw N6868 not N6861 but 6868 is 42' from Dunlop's position.
N6868 is brighter than 6861 by about 0.5 mag.

The wikisky.org image below (field 56') shows 6868 left and 6861 right.
N6851 (not in image) and N6870 (above 6868) were also seen last night.
