NGC-6822 has a very low surface brightness. There was only one time I ever saw it, and that was at the Okie-Tex Star party. In my 10-inch the galaxy was a large, faint oblong smear of light with little brightening towards the center. Even from the jet black skies of western Oklahoma, it doesn't jump out at you like many other galaxies I observed did.
