NGC 6614
25" (4/5/16 - Coonabarabran, 318x): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 4:3 WSW-ENE, ~40"x30",broad concentration to an ill-defined brighter core. Situated in a rich Pavo star field 14' S of a mag 6.1 star. There are several fairly bright stars along with a large number of faint stars in the field. A mag 11.2 star lies 1.5' S. To the NW are three collinear stars; a mag 9.4 star at 3.1', a mag 11.2 star at 4.9' and a mag 12 star at 7.5'.
ESO 103-019 lies 8' SE. This edge-on appeared faint or fairly faint, very elongated 4:1 N-S, 40"x10", low surface brightness streak, no concentration. Three nearby stars are collinear; a mag 14 star at the northwest edge and two mag 12-13 stars 3' WNW.
