Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6889
30" (10/10/15 - OzSky): at 303x and 394x; fairly bright, moderately large, 0.9'x0.6', broad concentration, elongated 3:2 or 4:3 SW-NE, weak core, mottled appearance, hint of spiral structure in the halo. Two mag 15 stars are very close; one is 0.6' ESE of center and other is at the northeast edge of the halo, 0.3' from center. I also noted an extremely faint mag 17.5 star at the north edge of the halo, 21" from center.
ESO 186-036, located 25' NE, was noted as fairly bright, fairly large, edge-on 4:1 SSW-NNE, 1.5'x0.4', sharply concentrated with an elongated bright nucleus.
