Hmm you might be onto something there Suzy. Is NGC 6541 barely viewable with naked eye?
So I know where this thing is approximately, having looked again last night. There are 4 stars in a line perpendicular to 3 other objects, the middle one being quite bright, and Our Mr Fuzzy being the 3rd in line from the left. This is in the east-northeast sky.
So I'm thinking that if Our Mr Fuzzy is NGC 6541, that would make the Omega star in Corona Australis the bright one?
