NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 6163 24" (7/15/15): at 375x; fairly faint, small, elongated N-S, 24"x18", very small bright nucleus. 24" (6/16/12): at 322x this member of HCG 82 appeared faint to fairly faint, small, elongated N-S, 0.4'x0.25' very small brighter nucleus. Forms a very close pair with NGC 6162 1.2' W. 18" (6/7/08): just slightly fainter than similar NGC 6162 1.2' W. At 260x appeared faint, small, elongated N-S, 0.4'x0.25'. NGC 6161 lies 2.7' SW. 18" (8/3/05): second brightest member of HCG 82 appeared faint, small, slightly elongated N-S, 0.4'x0.3'. Appears pretty similar to NGC 6162 1.2' W, but it slightly fainter with a less concentrated core. 17.5" (8/14/96): second brightest of four in HCG 82 located just 1.2' following NGC 6162. Appears very faint, small, slightly elongated, ~30" diameter. More weakly concentrated and slightly fainter than NGC 6162 but has a similar size. 17.5" (7/1/89): faint, very small, elongated N-S, weak concentration. Second brightest of three in HCG 82 with NGC 6162 1' W and NGC 6161 3' SSW.
