Observation Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n

I could not resolve stars or even a vague sense of graininess in this globular. It did have a lumpy, mottled appearance. Averted vision showed an extended halo about 2 arc minutes in diameter. The brighter core region was somewhat rectangular with extensions running toward the northwest. A dull orange star marked the southwest side of the view.<\/p>\n

Object Information:<\/b><\/p>\n

NGC 6207 was discovered by Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel in 1787. Based on his visual impression, he described it as a planetary nebula. It wasn’t until the middle of the next century that d’Arrest revealed it to be a “very crowded cluster”. Difficulty in resolving it can be attributed to its large distance from Earth of nearly 100,000 light years. It is also cataloged as: H IV-50, GC 4244, GCL 47<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
