Steve's Notes

===== NGC 6930 24" (9/1/16): at 220x, moderately bright and large, very elongated 4:1 N-S, 0.9'x0.2', brighter core. A mag 15.5 star is at the south end [38" S of center]. At 322x, a companion (LEDA 200365) is attached at the north end. It appeared extremely to very faint, very small, elongated ~E-W, 10"x6". 18" (7/11/10): fairly faint, moderately large, very elongated 4:1 N-S, ~50"x12". An extremely faint star (V = 15.7) is barely off the south tip. Occasionally there appeared to be a very small brightening at the north tip (this is 2MFGC 15598 = LEDA 200365). In a small group with brightest member NGC 6928 3.8' NW. Located 4.3' NNE of mag 8.6 HD 195765. 18" (9/10/07): faint, moderately large, edge-on 4:1 N-S, 1.0'x0.25', very weak concentration, low surface brightness. Located 2.2' NW of a 40" pair of mag 10/11 stars and 4.3' NNE of mag 8.6 HD 195934. An extremely faint star is at the south tip. Second brightest of three with NGC 6928 and NGC 6927. 18" (7/29/03): fairly faint, moderately large, edge-on 4:1 ~N-S, 0.9'x0.2', weak concentration. A mag 11 star is off the south edge, 1.1' SSW of center, and a pair of mag 10/11 stars lie 2.3' SSE. Second brightest in a trio with a similar edge-on NGC 6928 4' NW and NGC 6927 6' NW. Located 4.4' NNE of mag 8.7 SAO 125934. 17.5" (9/14/85): faint, thin streak ~N-S, weak concentration. A mag 11 star is 1.4' SSW. Elongated at right angles to NGC 6928 4.0' NW. NGC 6927 lies 5.7' NW. 13" (6/29/84): very faint, elongated ~N-S. A mag 11 star is off the south edge. Member of the NGC 6928 group.
