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.
