Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6150
18" (7/30/08): fairly faint, small, elongated 3:2 SW-NE, 24"x16", gradually increases to the center. Forms a close pair with NGC 6150B = MCG +07-34-027 1.3' SW. The companion appeared very faint, very small, round, 10" diameter. MCG +07-34-033 lies 9.5' E and was noted as faint, fairly small, elongated N-S, 0.4'x0.3'. A mag 12.5 attached at the north end confused the observation.
17.5" (5/23/87): faint, small, elongated SW-NE, weak concentration. MCG +07-34-033 lies 9.5' E. This is a double system (unresolved) on the southwest side of AGC 2197.
