I went up to Mt. Pinos (elev. 8000 ft.) where many amateur astronomers regularly go during the new moon. From there, I was able to view what I think is little known globular NGC 6535 (it was the only cluster on the star charts near where I was looking). NGC 6535 looks like a loose cluster that is being partially obscured by thin tendrils of gas. Although it is quite dim, the seeing was excellent through my C8. I could easily see all the stars as points at about 75x.
