I have tried and tried with my TMB203 f/7, using every trick in my bag of tricks! I have never detected even a hint of this globular. I have also tried using my Discovery 12.5", to no avail. From my site, NGC 6380 is a "horizon scraper" at best. There are very few windows of opportunity for me, since it is obscured by hills to my SW part of the time. This is a toughie! I have also failed to bag N6749. -------------------- Rodger Meade SN-10 (UHTC) on Tak EM-200 mount/Antares rotating rings. Moonlite focuser.
