NGC 6822 is one of those small RFT objects where you need to find just the right balance between power and aperture. I have observed it in 10x50s under moderately good sky conditions when it was only about 25° above the horizon (from central Minnesota)



Is this Craig Crossen? Welcome to CloudyNights and I'm looking forward to your posts on binocular and small-scope astronomy.
