Steve's Notes

NGC 6932

24" (4/12/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this galaxy appeared fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 4:3 ~E-W, 1.0'x0.7', sharply concentrated with a very small bright core.  A nice string of 5 stars begins with a mag 10 star 2.8' W of center and extends to the south.  On the DSS, this is a striking ring galaxy.
