A couple of mag 15 stars are at the edges, including one 25" S of center and one 15" W of center, and two mag 11-11.5 stars are 1'E and 1.7' S. NGC 6623 is 11' NE.
17.5" (7/16/88): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, bright core, faint halo. Several mag 15 stars are near including a mag 15 star at the west edge just 15" from the center. Two mag 12 stars with faint companions are following. Pair with NGC 6623 11.4' ENE.
