Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 6919

30" (10/10/15 - OzSky): at 394x; moderately bright and large, relatively low but uneven surface brightness with a broad and weak concentration to a slightly brighter core.  I had a strong impression of spiral structure in the halo.  Three stars are around the edges (at least one may be an HII knot in the halo) including a mag 15.5 star 0.8' NNW.  ESO 285-025 lies 5.4' SW.
