NGC 307

18" (10/16/09): at 285x appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 E-W, 0.8'x0.3', sharply concentrated with a very small bright core.  This galaxy is in the foreground of Abell Galaxy Cluster 119, which lies 1/2 degree to the north.

17.5" (10/8/88): faint, very small, oval 3:2 E-W, small bright core.  A mag 15.5 star (NGC 308) is 1' SSE.  The center of  AGC 119 lies 30' N.
