Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6964
18" (8/1/05): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated ~N-S, 0.5'x0.4'. Moderate even concentration to a small bright core and quasi-stellar nucleus. A mag 13.5 star is just of the SE end of the galaxy. Forms a close pair with NGC 6962 1.8' NW and this galaxy is just slightly smaller and fainter than its companion.
17.5" (7/16/88): fairly faint to moderately bright, small, slightly elongated NNW-SSE, small bright core. A mag 13.5 star is 38" SE of center. This is the second brightest in the NGC 6962 group and located just 1.8' SE of NGC 6962.
17.5" (8/31/86): moderately bright, strong bright core, substellar nucleus, almost round.
13.1" (8/23/84): slightly fainter than NGC 6962 in size and brightness, a faint star follows.
13.1" (7/27/84): second brightest in the NGC 6962 group. Moderately bright, slightly elongated NNW-SSE, weak concentration.
