Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 377 is positively identified as MCG -04-03-053 by Leavenworth's sketch and
description. His position is well off the mark, of course, so both ESO and
SGC missed the identification.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 377
24" (12/1/13): at 325x appeared extremely faint, small, round, 18" diameter. Visible perhaps 25% of the time as an extremely faint patch and too fleeting to detect an elongated shape. Forms the northern vertex of a triangle with a mag 14.5 star 6' SW and a mag 13.5 star 4.7' SE. A large scattered group of stars including several mag 10-11 lies ~10' E.
18" (12/3/05): not seen at 225x.
18" (11/6/04): extremely faint, small, round, 20" diameter (core only viewed?). Only visible intermittently with averted and concentration (in fairly poor seeing) but sighting definite.
