Description:
Not seen at 49X, NGC 6755 is an elongated misty patch of light at 98X.
At 203X a hazy spot with a roundish shape and a seperated taillike feature of
faint starlight with a darker area in between. About a dozen or so stars
were positively resolved with some more popping in and out of view. Tha hazy
background glow appeared somewhat granular.
Once located this cvluster was quite easy to see, appearing slightly better
at 244X although no extra details were noted. A slightly larger scope would
probably resolve more of this cluster.
There is a sketch on this object on my homepage: URL mentioned below.
