Steve's Notes

===== NGC 6793 17.5" (9/7/91): three dozen stars mag 10.5-14 in a 8' field. Fairly distinctive in the field. Located within a 30' loose, indistinct group with a mag 8 star at the west edge. The core of the cluster contains a 1' triangle of mag 10.5-11 stars with the north vertex a nice double star (h886 = 10.5/11.5 at 8"). Just south is a 1' quadrilateral consisting of four mag 13 stars. No other distinct groups are in the cluster, although 4' N and 4' E are two small groups of seven and four stars.
