Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6790
17.5" (7/28/92): at 82x, very bright, stellar, surprisingly prominent, estimate V = 10.0. Blinks well with an OIII filter. At 280x appears very bright and a very small but definite disc about 5" diameter is visible with a bluish color. A mag 11.5 star lies 35" W.
13" (7/85): bright, just non-stellar 220x, estimate mag 10, easy blinker with OIII. A mag 11 star is 30" W. Forms the east vertex of a thin rhombus of mag 10 stars.
