Steve's Notes

===== NGC 6928 18" (7/11/10): moderately bright, very elongated 4:1 WNW-ESE, 1.5'x0.35', bright core. A mag 13.5 star is pinned against the north side, just north of the core. Forms the northern vertex of a trio with fainter NGC 6927 3' WSW and NGC 6930 3.8' SSE. 18" (9/10/07): fairly faint, moderately large, edge-on 4:1 WNW-ESE, 1.2'x0.3', weak concentration with a 0.4'x0.3' brighter core and faint, thin extensions. A mag 13.5 star is close NE of the core (15" from the center) and a mag 12.5 star lies 1.4' ENE. Brightest in triplet with NGC 6927 3' WSW and NGC 6930 3.8' SE. 18" (7/29/03): moderately bright, moderately large, edge-on 4:1 WNW-ESE, 1.1'x0.25', small brighter core. A 13th magnitude star is at the north edge of the core. Brightest in a trio with NGC 6927 and NGC 6929. 17.5" (9/14/85): moderately bright, pretty edge-on WNW-ESE, bright core. A mag 13 star is superimposed north of the core just 20" from center. Brightest in a group with NGC 6927 3' WSW and NGC 6930 4' SE. 13" (6/29/84): fairly faint, elongated E-W. An extremely faint star is at the north edge. 8" (8/12/83): extremely faint, averted only, elongated ~E-W, small bright nucleus?, fairly bright wide double star in field to NW.
