Re: globular NGC 7006

I observed NGC 7006 last night from my driveway (ZLM 5.6 or so) in my NexStar 9.25 inch SCT. I saw no firm hints of any resolution, although there were quite a few stars near it and maybe one or two close to the edges. It is a nice little faint "puff" with some central concentration, and was fairly easy to see but not much in the resolution end. This was right after I hit the *very* nice globular NGC 6712, so I might have been just a bit "jaded" by the previous object. NGC 6712 was a pleasant surprise after hitting a number of fainter globulars that night, although for a globular, it is a little weird (odd shape and distribution of stars). Clear skies to you.
