Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 6825 is at least a double system as noted in CGCG. There are, however,
four knots involved; two -- which I labeled "n" and "e" -- may be superposed
stars. We really do need some high-resolution images of this. I've simply
taken the mean of the four objects as the position. All, regardless of their
nature, contribute to the visibility of the object.
Swift's position is about 15 seconds of time too far east, but at the northern
declination, this amounts to only 2 arcminutes. With no other galaxies as
bright in the area, there is no identity problem.
Steve's Notes

NGC 6825
17.5" (8/13/88): faint, small, oval NNW-SSE, small bright core. A mag 13.5 star is off the NNW edge 35" from center.
