Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6464
17.5" (7/27/92): very faint, very small, round, low even surface brightness. Preceded by an elongated group of 10 stars mag 14-15. A distinctive trapezoid of four mag 11 stars with bases oriented N-S lies between 2' and 6' N. The galaxy is collinear with the shorter east base and is located 3' further south.
