NGC 383
18" (11/18/06): fairly bright, moderately large, irregularly round, 1.3' diameter, broadly concentrated to a bright core that increases to a 6" nucleus. Forms an interacting pair with NGC 382 30" S of center. This galaxy is the brightest and largest member of the "Pisces Group" (at the southwest end of the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster) and is surrounded by 10 galaxies within 8'!
17.5" (9/19/87): brightest in the NGC 383 cluster. Fairly bright, moderately large, slightly elongated, broadly concentrated halo. Forms a double system with NGC 382 30" SW. NGC 380 is 4.5' NNW, NGC 379 6.8' NNW, NGC 386 3.3' SSE, NGC 385 5.5' SSE.
13" (9/29/84): fairly bright, almost round, bright core. Forms a double with NGC 382.
