400/500mm - 17.5" (10/13/01): very faint, very small, roundish (probably viewed brighter core only). Follows a trio of mag 13-14.5 stars. Faintest of trio with NGC 6956 and UGC 11620.
17.5" (7/25/95): very faint, small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, 50"x25", no concentration. There are three mag 13/14/15 stars close west with the mag 13 star 1.0' W of center. Located 8.0' E of NGC 6956 and faintest of three with UGC 11620.
600/800mm - 24" (8/5/13): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:3 SW-NE, 36"x20", a small brighter core is embedded in a fairly smooth halo. A small trio of mag 13/14.5.15 stars is close preceding. Faintest in the KTG 71 triplet and forms the eastern vertex of a near equilateral triangle with UGC 11620 6.3' SW and NGC 6956 8' WNW.
