Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6269
17.5" (7/27/95): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated E-W, 1.5' diameter. Even concentration to a bright core and stellar nucleus. A mag 13.5-14 star with an extremely faint companion lies 1.3' S of center. Brightest in a "poor" group of faint galaxies (AWM 5).
17.5" (7/1/89): fifth and brightest in a string of 8 NGC galaxies with NGC 6264 6.5' W and NGC 6265 9.4' W. Fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated E-W, gradually increases to a small bright core.
