X The Sagittarius-Corona Australis border hosts one of the sky's most splendid complexes. NGC 6723 is a fine, rather open globular with marvelous neighbors: the 55′-long dark nebula SL 40/41, the bright reflection nebula NGC 6726/7 with its embedded stars, the comet-shaped variable reflection nebula NGC 6729, the striking matched blue-white pair Brs 14 (separation 13″), and the matched yellowish binary Gamma CrA (separation 1.3″). 34 OCTOBER 2 02 0 * SK Y & TELESCOPE M 62: ESA / HUBBLE / N ASA / S. A NDERSON; NGC 6723: LORE K UN TA N / STA RRYSCA PES.CO M S Next up is Messier 62. At 202× with the 30-inch at the OzSky Star Safari, M62 was very dense with swarming stars. The concentration rises rapidly to a small, very bright pip that's strikingly offset to the southeast of the cluster's center. The Australian amateurs razzed me for wasting telescope time on such a northerly object, but M62 was 79° higher than I ever see it at home.http://www.STARRYSCAPES.COM
