Category: Open cluster.
Class: 
Constellation: Aql
Data: mag 7.5  size 15.0'
Position: RA 19:08  DEC 04:16
Description:
In Aquila, at ~4½° W of Delta Aql. Not very luminous but very wide open cluster. All that is visible is a small nebulosity and no star separates individually. NGC 6755 seems to raise an ovoid form and the stretch is done in an axis NE-SW. Also, 2 brilliant stars form an equilateral triangle with the cluster. These are the only stars that I can individually distinguish in NGC 6709, the remainder seems a weak nebulosity within the triangle.
