NGC6528 (Globular Cluster, in Sagittarius)
Observer: Larry Wade (e-mail: lab@capital2.com)
Instrument: 10-inch Dobsonian reflector Location: Belzoni, Mississippi, USA
Light pollution: moderate Transparency: excellent Seeing: fair
Time: Thu Sep 10 01:45:00 1998 UT Obs. no.: 384
Visible at 47X in same field as Gamma Sgr. Also seen in the same field is NGC 6522, which is the brighter of the two. At 134X, 6528 is a faint fuzzwith no stars or sparkle. Occasional thin cirrus clouds pass by in this view towards the south The sky is pretty transparent tonite. I can seeall four stars in the bowl of the Little Dipper. The dimmest is listed as mag 4.9 on a chart for limiting magnitude that I got from some S&T site off the net. A cold front just passed thru today, this is very clear for my moderately light polluted backyard which usually has mag 3.5 to 4.0 skies. The Milky Way glows brightly tonite.
