Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6175
18" (7/30/08): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 3:2 WNW-ESE, 30"x20". The very small brighter core appears offset from the center. A very faint star is just off the WNW edge with a brighter mag 13 star 1.4' ESE. Located 8' SW of mag 7.9 HD 149025.
On the DSS, this is an overlapping double system and my description of an offset core probably refers to the compact companion PGC 200339 on the south side.
17.5" (7/5/86): fairly faint, elongated ~E-W, fairly small, brighter core. Bracketed by a mag 15 star at the west edge and a mag 13 star 1.5' E of center. Located 11.3' SSE of NGC 6173 in AGC 2197.
13.1" (8/5/83): faint, diffuse. A star is off the east edge.
