Steve's Notes

NGC 77

17.5" (12/20/95): extremely faint spot on the threshold of visibility with averted vision.  Only glimpsed for moments several times although sighting certain.  Located 3.1' ESE of a mag 11.5 star.  Next closest is a 14th mag star 4.0' WSW.  Incorrectly identified in the RNGC as MCG -04-02-003.

17.5" (10/21/95): not seen, though viewed through thin clouds.
