Description

A nice clear sky after heavy rain provided good results.
Also the 2.4.1 update of the Unistellar software seems to have solved the walking noise issues experienced during the last few months.

NGC6207 appears in many pictures, but rarely as the main subject, its neighbor M13 being usually the center of attention.
In this image M13 would be just left of bottom.
The galaxy itself does not reveal many details to amateur class telescopes, a glimpse of a spiral (looking almost like a hook) is anyway visible.

The field has been left deliberately wide to also contain the dim 16th magnitude galaxy IC4617 at the center bottom.
