(IAAC) Obj: NGC 6934 - Inst: 3.5" (9cm) ecuatorial refractor-this is a mistake

[Lewis J. Gramer]

No problem, Alex! These logs are easily corrected in the Web archive.
 
By the way, it seems NGC 6934 is indeed the fascinating, and bright
globular cluster in Delphinus (mag 8.9), at 20:34 +07:24:
  http://www.visualdeepsky.org/logs/msg04057.html
That's a great log, by the way, Alex! Thanks for submitting it...
 
Now NGC 6394 is a small, extremely faint (Mp? 16) galaxy in Draco,
at 17:30+59:32. I was in fact very surprised that you were able to see
anything in that field with the 9cm: is it possible you were seeing the
somewhat brighter galaxy NGC 6399, 10 arcminutes West, or even
NGC 6381 about 30' SE of that position? Anyway, I edited the name
of the constellation for you on this log, Alex:
  http://www.visualdeepsky.org/logs/msg04058.html
Let me know if you would like to make any further changes to it?
 
Note interestingly, that there are some old references to "NGC 6394"
as a globular cluster (one article in Dec 1995 Sky & Telescope, p. 40,
is mentioned in my version of the 'dObjects' database). Wonder why?
 
In any case, please keep your fine observing logs coming in, Alex!
 
Clear skies!
Lew Gramer

I am very sorry but when submitting observations I done some Mistakes:
One of the two "Ngc 6934", is a globular cluster, Ngc 6394, in Delphinus, and I think that one constellation it is wrong placed.

  Clear skies,
Alex
