NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 382 18" (11/18/06): fairly faint, very small, round, 20" diameter, slightly brighter corer, faint stellar nucleus with direct vision. Situated at the south edge of the halo of NGC 383 (the brighter member of the "Pisces Group"), just 30" from the center. 17.5" (9/23/00): very faint, extremely small, round, 20" diameter, very faint quasi-stellar nucleus at moments. Viewed SN 2000dk, just 5 days after discovery on 9/18/00, as a mag 15.5 "star" at the NW edge of the halo. At the first glance using 280x, the galaxy appeared elongated in the direction of the SN, but in moments of better seeing, the SN was clearly resolved and similar in brightness to the nucleus of NGC 382. This galaxy is the fainter of a close pair with NGC 383 in the Pisces group. 17.5" (9/19/87): faint, very small, round. Forms a double system with much brighter NGC 383 30" NNE in a group. 13" (9/29/84): very faint, extremely small, round. Nearly attached to NGC 383.
