vaguely boot shaped with the toe pointing East and the top of the boot to the
North. There is a central brightning about half way up the boot. NGC 206 is
easy with direct vision in both the 30CM, f:10 SCT at 138X and the 56Cm, f:4.1
DOB at 120X.

220X - NGC 206 To the West is a stream of 14-16 mag stars with GCl; G52 (Aprox
16mag) offset a little to the West. The North end of NGC 206 blends into the
halo of M31, but the South end terminates abruptly in a generally E-W stream 
of stars.
