Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6757

17.5" (7/20/90): faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 WSW-ENE, faint stellar nucleus or very faint star superimposed.  Unusual appearance as a mag 14.5 star is at the west end and a very faint star or knot is at the ENE end!  On the POSS there is a knot at the ENE end of the central bar as well as at the west end just following the mag 14.5 star.
