Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6695
48" (10/24/11): this excellent two-armed barred spiral appeared fairly bright, moderately large with a slightly curving "bar" that is elongated 2:1 SSW-NNE, ~0.6'x0.3'. Contains a slightly brighter, elongated core. An arm emerges from the NNE end of the bar and curves clockwise, bending northwest towards a mag 15.5 star and fading out just before intersecting the star. The second arm is attached at the soiuth-southwest end extending south, though dimming out rapidly before reaching a mag 16 star off the south end. Overall, the galaxy has an elongated "S" appearance.
17.5" (7/5/86): faint, elongated lens, fairly diffuse, slightly brighter along the major axis.
