NGC 6213
18" (6/23/09): faint, small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, 0.5'x0.25'. Second of four galaxies in a SW-NE string with NGC 6211 2.2' SW, CGCG 299-018 2.3' NE and CGCG 299-019 6' NE.
CGCG 299-018 is very faint, small, elongated 2:1 SSW-NNE, 0.4'x0.2'. Situated between two stars 1' NW and 1' ESE. CGCG 299-019 appeared very faint to extremely faint, very small, round, 15" diameter. Located 1.3' N of a mag 14.5 star. Faintest of 4 on a line and furthest NE with similar CGCG 299-018 3.9' SW.
17.5" (6/18/88): very faint, very small, slightly elongated, low even surface brightness.
17.5" (6/20/87): faint, small, elongated WSW-ENE, weak concentration, fairly low surface brightness. Second of four with NGC 6211 2.2' SW.
