NGC 6106
17.5": fairly faint, fairly small, gradually increases to a bright core, mottled appearance. A knot is visible on the west side (there is a brighter extension on the SW side on the POSS). A mag 15 star is 1.1' S of center and an extremely faint mag 16 star is just off the NNW end.
13.1" (7/5/83): fairly faint, fairly small, brighter core.
8" (7/5/83): very faint, small, slightly elongated N-S.
