Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 355

17.5" (9/26/92): extremely faint, very small, round.  Near my visual threshold and only glimpsed with averted vision for moments.  Located just 4' WNW of NGC 357. Appears extremely faint on the POSS (16 pg) with a nearly stellar core and very small low surface brightness arms that were not visible.  Previously missed using my 13.1".
