Object(s): NGC 6342 - Negative report
Category: Globular cluster.
Class: IV
Constellation: Oph
Data: mag 9.9 size 3.0'
Position: RA 17:21.2 DEC -19:35
Description:
In Ophiuchus, at ~ 1¼° SE of M9. Despite all my efforts, the object remains
invisible at my instrument. With a magv = 9,9, it approaches the limit of 9x63
binoculars. Located in a sector of the sky strongly affected by light
pollution. Probably visible with better conditions and a more southern location
than Canada.
