Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6913

13.1" (9/9/83): M29 consists of two dozen stars mag 8 and fainter in a fairly small trapezoidal outline well detached in the field.  The six brightest mag 8 stars form two curving rows on the SW and NE ends.  Appears loose with no dense spots and seems fully resolved.
