Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 205

13.1": bright, very large, elongated 5:2 NNW-SSE, 10'x4', quite prominent but only a gentle broad concentration.  G73, the brightest globular cluster in M110 (or associated with M31), lies 6' E of center and appears as a 15th magnitude "star".

8" (10/4/80): fairly bright, large, elongated ~N-S, companion to M31.
