NGC 6834

17.5" (8/7/91): 40 visible stars in a 8' diameter.  A mag 10 star is in the middle of a line of seven mag 13 stars oriented SW-NE and also at the center of four mag 11/12 stars on a line oriented E-W.  Sprays of stars emanate from the bright star to the SW and SE.  A small clump of five stars lies 4' S of the mag 10 star.  Planetary nebula NGC 6842 lies 38' ESE.
