Description:
This is my second attempt to see this elusive galaxy, but this time I had much
 better skies. At 80x the galaxy looked as a very large, elongated patch of light,
 a bit concentrated towards the middle (not uniform in brightness). I will review 
this galaxy with a larger scope in better skies to see if any detail is visible.
 The planetary nebula to the north (Ngc 6818) of the galaxy is also visible without
 difficulty, being large and relatively bright.
