NGC 6983
30" (10/10/15 - OzSky): at 394x; fairly faint to moderately bright, fairly small, 0.5' diameter, irregularly round, contains a very small brighter core. Located 13' NW of mag 6.5 HD 199288 (noted as a high proper-motion star in SIMBAD).
ESO 286-010 lies 26' WSW and appeared moderately bright, large, nearly 2' diameter, sharply concentrated with a very bright core that increases to the center. The halo is very large and diffuse without a well defined edge, fading into the background at the edges.
