Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6827

17.5" (9/7/91): in a very rich Milky Way field is a faint, smooth, 2' unresolved glow similar to a low surface brightness galaxy.  A mag 13 star is at the west edge.  A slightly brighter knot or a 15th magnitude star is superimposed but no other resolution.  Located just west of a very large, scattered group that just stands out due to many stars mag 11/12 at the edges.
