Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6884

17.5" (9/7/91): bright, very small, very high surface brightness.  Appears as a slightly out of focus mag 11 bluish star at 100x.  Moderate contrast gain using an OIII filter.  At 412x appears prominent with a very small 5" blue disk. 

13" (9/29/84): fairly bright, very small, high surface brightness, definite bluish disk at 166x, excellent contrast gain with OIII filter.  Easily takes 350x due to surface brightness.
