Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 125
18" (12/3/05): fairly faint, fairly small, round, 0.7' diameter. Sharply concentrated with a very small bright core ~15" diameter surrounded by a faint halo. A 20" pair of mag 12 stars is less than 1' S of center.
17.5" (10/8/88): fairly faint, small, round, very bright core, stellar nucleus. A mag 12/13 double star at 20" separation oriented NNW-SSE lies 1' SW. Located 6' WSW of NGC 128 in a compact group.
13" (11/5/83): faint, small, round, small bright core. Two stars close SW are oriented N-S. Second brightest of three in the NGC 128 group.
