Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6613
17.5" (8/1/92): at 100x, bright, scattered, includes three mag 9 stars and 10 mag 11 stars. The bright stars form a "V" asterism with the vertex to the NNE. Includes a few wide double stars. At 220x, 40 stars are visible in a 7' diameter, scattered but distinctive. The bright group of 15 stars forming the "V" asterism is surrounded by a dark circular void. The rest of the cluster is to the south and west of the "V". Only a few faint stars are involved and the cluster appears fully resolved.
