Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6807
17.5" (7/20/90): at 140x appears as a mag 12 stellar object. Shows an excellent contrast gain with OIII filter. A brighter mag 10.5 comparison star 1.5' NE is similar to the planetary with the OIII filter (so there is a two magnitudes contrast gain with the filter). Increasing the magnification to 286, it appeared to be quasi-stellar with a tiny disc surrounding the central star.
