Steve's Notes

===== NGC 127 18" (12/3/05): this very close companion to NGC 128 is quite dim, appearing as an extremely faint knot just 12" diameter with no details. It is fainter and closer than NGC 130 and situated just west of the northern extension, 0.8' from center. Not noticed initially, but once seen was not difficult with averted vision at 225x. 17.5" (10/8/88): very faint, very small, round. Located just 0.8' NW of NGC 128. Faintest of five in the NGC 128 group.
