Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 338

17.5" (10/5/02): nice, fairly small edge-on oriented WNW-ESE, 0.8'x0.25', very small bright core.  A pair of evenly matched mag 14 stars are close off the south side.

17.5" (11/25/87): moderately bright, very elongated WNW-ESE, moderately large, bright core.  An easy mag 14 double star at 22" separation is off the SSE edge just 0.8' from center.
