ASTRO: NGC6760 From Colorado Springs

The sky was fairly stable for the night of Sep. 27/28 but there were thin
clouds about and the moon was up, so I worked on two clusters that were away
from the moon and shielded by the dome cover. Both clusters are bright and
show well in such conditions.

This Globular has a binary pulsar and a ms pulsar. The binary is one of
eleven known in GC and has one of the shortest orbital periods known at 3.4
hrs.. The ms pulsar has a rotational period just over 5 ms

My seeing is rarely good enough for globulars. Especially when they are
in a star rich field like this one is. Looks like it is a candidate for
my list on a good night.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Very good result Doug. The cluster is fully resolved.
