Ok before anyone asks me how I found this out, boredom during lockdown basically.

Open up stellarium, preferably with a pc and widescreen although laptop does work, you may need to get your eyes in a little closer with a laptop.  (does not work on phone apps)

First make sure its dark by fast forwarding time to midnight. Now press the A key to remove atmosphere, now press F3 key and search for NGC 6583.

Now using the zoom in key, ("page up" in my case) zoom in and relive the experience I did some 40 years since, amazing. (well to me at least)
