Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6858

17.5" (9/23/95): this is an elongated group of 35 stars in a 10'x4' group oriented N-S which precedes a mag 9 star at 20 03 16 +11 16.4 (2000).  Fairly uniform in brightness and distribution with no dense spots but includes a couple of nice doubles.  Most stars are mag 12-13 with a scattering of fainter stars.
