Actually, NGC 6822 does not require much aperture. It is slightly
easier to see in my 12.5" scope than in my 7", but quite visible
in both. And I have heard reports of people seeing it in 7x50
binoculars, which isn't all that surprising if you think about it.


I usually find it easier in 16x70 binoculars than in a larger scope. =
With the scope it tends to fill the field and sometimes you can't tell =
you're looking at it at all until you pan back and forth a bit. I =
"think" i've seen it in 10x42 binoculars but i checked my logs and don't =
see that i actually said that i could.
