Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 6092 is a double star at Bigourdan's place. He has six observations
(three partial observations are missing either an angle or a distance; the
other three are complete) on two different nights, calling it a "Nebula with
an indeterminant form, with a stellar nucleus of magnitude 13.4" on 11 May
1885; and "Star of magnitude 13.4, perhaps surrounded by a trace of nebulosity
which was not well-seen, the sky background being somewhat brightened" on 27
September 1894.
The stars are separated by 10 arcseconds, and their magnitudes are V = 15.9
(southwestern star) and V = 15.0 (northeastern star). These are among the
fainter of Bigourdan's objects.
