On Saturday night at the approx 1900 m site of the Mt Kobau Star Party. I was able to determine 3 members. I was using my 12.5" dob at 365X. The two with the widest separation (I'm assuming NGC 6027 and 6027 E) held steady with averted vision. The third (6027 A?) was quite close to another, and flickered in and out, but was clearly a separate object.
I had only looked at them because I had noticed them on the same page of my Uranometria after observing Abell Galaxy Cluster 2151. Now, observing Abell 2151 with my 12.5" was exciting too. At one point, at 152X I was seeing a total of 10 galaxies winking on and off at one time in the FOV.
