Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 344

18" (12/3/05): extremely faint and small, 5" diameter.  Forms a very close pair with NGC 343 close preceding, just 24" between centers.  At times this object appeared stellar and easier to view than NGC 343, though there doesn't appear to be a faint star close by that I might have confused it with.
