Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6148
24" (7/7/13): at 282x appeared faint to very faint, very small, elongated 3:2 SW-NE, 15"x10", low even surface brightness. Can just hold steadily with averted. Located 9' SSE of mag 8.9 HD 148405 within a small trapezoid of mag 13-14.5 stars. This galaxy, found by Marth in 1864, is one of the faintest he discovered with the 48" on Malta and was missed previously in my 17.5".
17.5" (5/28/89): not found.
