Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6207
24" (6/16/12): fairly bright, fairly large, elongated 5:2 NNW-SSE, sharply concentrated with a very small bright core. A blazing stellar nucleus is apparently a superimposed star. The outer extensions clearly have an irregular surface brightness and an asymmetric appearance.
17.5" (6/6/86): fairly bright, very elongated 3:1 SSW-NNE, bright stellar nucleus, possible asymmetric appearance. Located 28' NE of M13. The noted stellar nucleus is likely a superimposed 13th magnitude foreground star.
13.1" (8/5/83): moderately bright and large, elongated SSW-NNE.
