Description:
Easily pops into the eye at even low magnification (131x). At 131x the group does
not resolve into single galaxies but rather appears as a diffuse extended glow of
light that matches a very faint halo of a wide galaxy. At 342x I could glimpse two
slightly brighter patches of light within the glow of the group. It might have been
6027A and E. Those two members of the Seyfert Sextet are the brightest
members (13,4 and 13,9magv). The other fainter members just appear as the
faint glow that surrounds the brighter galaxies. The overall diameter of the group
does not exeed 1,5'.
