John, CdC plots NGC 6380 at Mean J2000 RA: 17h34m 30.0s DE:-39°04'00"
in the corner of SL28 Mean J2000 RA: 17h35m 18.0s DE:-39°14'00"
SL 28 is listed as 30x15 arcmin and NGC 6380 as 3.9x3.9 arcmin
In
Uranometria 2000 Vol 2 NGC 6380 is on map 164. It should be tha same map number in the one volume edition.
In
The Night Sky Observers Guide Vol 2 they are both on page 348.
