Description:
In Sagittarius, just N of the supposed position of NGC 6822. Very weak nebula, difficult object for my instrument, quite it could become very brilliant in averted vision by short periods. Very close, 2 stars form a beautiful triangle with nebula. Stellar in apperance, NGC 6818 gives a good effect of "blinking" by alternating direct - averted vision.
