Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6921
17.5" (8/5/91): fairly faint, very small, very elongated 3:1 NW-SE, faint stellar nucleus. One or two very faint stars are at the edges. Unusual as located in the midst of a very rich Milky Way field over unresolved background glow. Located only 7.6¡ from the galactic equator and less than 3¡ SW of open cluster NGC 6940!
