NGC 6723 is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. Its magnitude is given between 6 and 6.8, and diameter between 7 and 11 arcminutes, class VII with stars magnitude 14 and dimmer. It is near the border of Sagittarius and Corona Australis. Unlike a common globular clusters, NGC 6723 has an enhanced metallicity and large fraction of younger stars, with primordial stars accounting to only 0.363±0.017 of totals.
CHI-1 belongs to Telescope Live. It is a Planewave CDK24, a 61-cm telescope with Corrected Dall Kirkham optical
design, situated in the Rio Hurtado Valley, Chile. It is equipped with a set of
Astrodon astrophotography filters as well as Sloan photometry filters and it's,
therefore, an excellent choice for both scientific applications and
astrophotography of deep-sky objects.
