NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 230 24" (12/22/14): extremely faint to very faint, small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, ~20"x10", low surface brightness. Requires averted and concentration, but clearly visible ~25% of time. 17.5" (10/4/97): extremely tough, very small object only suspected on a couple of occasions. My field sketch shows it situated just south of the midpoint of two stars oriented NW-SE [separation 1.5'] and it seemed extended SW-NE (perpendicular to the line connecting the stars). This matches the DSS image, so I probably finally detected this galaxy. Located 6' SW of NGC 232 and 8' SW of the double system NGC 235. 17.5": Negative sightings on 12/3/88 (Fiddletown), 10/21/95 in thin clouds (Fiddletown) and 12/20/95 at Digger Pines.
