NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 183 24" (9/15/12): fairly bright, moderately large, round, 50" diameter, well concentrated with a bright core increasing to a very small bright nucleus. Brightest and largest in a group including NGC 181 2.7' SSW, NGC 184 4.1' SSE and PGC 1871091 (very low surface brightness edge-on) 5.2' NNE. A mag 12.4 star lies 3.2' S. It was easy to locate this group as it is situated just 12' N of mag 4.4 Epsilon And. 18" (10/21/06): fairly faint, fairly small, round, very small bright nucleus, 40" diameter. Based on the listed dimensions, I missed a very low surface brightness halo and viewed the high surface brightness core. Forms the NW vertex of a triangle with a mag 12 star 3' S and a mag 13 star 3' E. Brightest in a trio with NGC 181 and NGC 184 close south. MCG +5-2-31 lies 6' N. 17.5" (10/17/87): fairly faint, small, round, bright core. Located 12' N of 30 Andromedae (V = 4.4). Brightest of three in AGC 71 with NGC 181 2.7' SW and NGC 184 4.1' SSE.
