Steve's Notes

===== NGC 6329 18" (7/27/03): fairly faint, fairly small, irregularly round, 0.7' diameter. Contains a small bright core that increases to a distinct stellar nucleus. Fourth of 8 galaxies and second brightest in the NGC 6332/6339 group (located roughly 50' NW of M92!) with NGC 6327 3.2' SW and NGC 6332 8.1' ESE. 17.5" (8/1/89): fairly faint, small, round, bright core, stellar nucleus. Third of five in a group with NGC 6327 3.2' SW and NGC 6332 8.1' ESE.
