Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6943
30" (11/5/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): bright, large, elongated ~5:2 NW-SE, 3.5'x1.5', sharply concentrated with a very small bright elongated core. Spiral structure is evident in the halo, though I could not trace distinct arms. A mag 9.5 star lies 5' NE. Located 26' W of mag 5.4 Sigma Pavonis (2' pair with mag 7 HD 197569). IC 5052, a beautiful thin edge-on, lies 43' SE.
