Steve's Notes

===== NGC 6483 25" (4/5/16 - Coonabarabran, 318x): fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 1.0'x0.5'. Contains a bright, roundish core that increases to the center. Situated in a striking star field with a number of bright stars and on a line between a mag 10.0 star 2.3' SW and a mag 9.7 star 1.5' NE. A mag 9.7 star is 6' S and a similar star is 7' N. A mag 8-9 variable star (OW Pavonis) lies 10' WNW. NGC 6483 forms a close (physical) pair with ESO 102-02A 2.0' SE. The companion is fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 SW-NE, 30"x20" (core), broad concentration with no well-defined nucleus. A mag 10 star is 2.7' W (same one as above). PGC 61288, found 14' SE, appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 NNW-SSE, 24"x16", broad weak concentration, no distinct zones.
