John Herschel discovered NGC 6325 = h3676 on 24 May 1835 and logged "pF; R; gbM; r; 60". No doubt it is a globular cluster." His single position is good.

200/250mm - 8" (6/27/81): very faint, weak concentration, small, no resolution.

400/500mm - 17.5" (5/30/92): fairly faint, small, 2' diameter, slightly mottled but no resolution, weak central concentration. At 412x appears very granular with a brighter core that is offset to the west. A faint star visible off the WSW edge of the halo may be a field star. Located 30' N of the double star 39 (Omicron) Ophiuchi (5.4/6.9 at 10").
