Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 45

17.5" (8/2/86): faint, large, almost round, very diffuse.  A mag 10 star is attached at the south end.  Located 4' ENE of mag 7 SAO 166132!  Both stars interfere with viewing.

13" (12/7/85): extremely faint, fairly large.  A mag 7 star 4' WSW detracts from observation.

13" (8/24/84): only suspected at visual threshold.  The nearby mag 7 star interferes with viewing.
