NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 80 18" (11/22/08): this giant lenticular galaxy is the brightest in a rich group of 20 galaxies viewed in a 25' circle. At 283x it appeared fairly bright, moderately large, round, 1.0' diameter. Sharply concentrated with a very bright 30" core that increases to the center and a much fainter outer halo. The closest cluster members are NGC 81 1.6' NNE, 2MASX J00205474+2222017 3.7' WNW and NGC 83 5.3' NNE. 17.5" (9/19/87): moderately bright, fairly small, sharp concentration, very bright core, stellar nucleus. Brightest in a group with NGC 81, 83, 85, 86, 91, 93, 94, 96, IC 1546 and MCG +04-02-010. Forms a close pair with extremely faint NGC 81 1.6' NNE and NGC 83 is 5.3' NNE. 13" (9/29/84): moderately bright, fairly small, almost round, small bright core.
