NGC 6207

Hi All,
I caught NGC 6207, the little neighbor to M13, for the first time a few nights ago. Wow, very cool! If you haven't seen it, it's right in the neighborhood of that perennial summer favorite, M13. From suburban skies right outside of Washington, DC, the (listed) 12.1 magnitude galaxy was faintly visible through my ten inch dob and 12mm T4 Nagler as a smudge among the stars. I'm sure it can be glimpsed in smaller scopes, too. Skyhound.com says it's no problem for a six inch under dark skies.
I can't wait for the Almost Heaven Star Party in West Virginia next month, so I can check out this little guy under dark skies.
Next time you're parked on M13, and not sure where to go, check out NGC 6207. It's neat.
