Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 6922. When I looked at this many years ago, I interpreted it as a double galaxy, the primary object being the eastern spiral. The fainter western object has shown itself on the DSS2 images to be a bright knot, probably a superassociation similar to NGC 2070 = 30 Doradus in the LMC, or NGC 604 in NGC 598 = M 33. There is also a star superposed, brighter than either the knot or the nucleus, to the northwest of the nucleus. I've given positions for all of three objects.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 6922 17.5" (7/16/88): faint, round, diffuse, fairly even surface brightness 17.5" (8/1/86): moderately large, almost round, diffuse, pretty low even surface brightness with no core. A very faint star is at the west edge and mag 8.7 SAO 144498 is 7.0' N.
