NGC 6595: Somewhere along the line this object was called a star cluster, which was carried forward into the Lynga catalogue.
The brightest member is NGC 6595, being a relatively bright, relatively large, irregularly round hazy glow, with a prominent double star at the centre.
NGC 6589 is the next obvious nebula, appearing as a rather faint, relatively large, possibly round, hazy glow with a double star of uneven brightness involved.

The cause of this is partially due to the presence of both total and differential reddening that broadens the CMD sequences (see Rich et al.
NGC 6981, outer LF) are more likely the consequence of mass segregation, or of residual errors in the completeness corrections or simply to small number statistics along the RGB were the LFs were normalized, than real features to ascribe to a mismatch with theory.
