Description:
In Sagittarius, at ~ 6 ¾ ° SSE of 61 Sgr. This object is of very small size and
shows a very bright center of stellar in appearance.  After several minutes of
observation, I can see the core like a central star, surrounded by a weak
nebulosity. The brightness of the center of the cluster surely comes from strong
degree of concentration. Very interesting object!
