Description:
NGC 6779 – M56 – GC – Lyra – At 53x in the 27mm Panoptic it is in a great star
field. Core is immediately obvious surrounded by faint circular hazy
periphery. 10/11 magnitude star east inside the haze. Slight resolution but
very mottled. At 100x there is a scattering resolution in the periphery and a
few across the core. The core is oddly triangle shaped. Best I think at
lower magnification because it is a nice frame.
