Steve's Notes

===== NGC 373 18" (11/18/06): extremely faint, very small, round, 15"-20" diameter. There appears to be a 15-16th magnitude star superimposed as a stellar point was sometimes visible offset from the center. Located on the SW side of the "Pisces Group", 9' SW of NGC 383. 17.5" (9/19/87): very faint, very small, slightly elongated ~E-W. Located 8.3' SW of NGC 383 in the core of the cluster. Forms a pair with NGC 375 2.8' NNE.
