Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 522
18" (12/3/05): faint to fairly faint edge-on streak SW-NE, 1.2'x0.2'. This is a pretty slash with a slightly brighter core. Fades at the tips but uniformly narrow in width (does not bulge in the center). NGC 525 lies 17' S within the NGC 524 group. A couple of faint members, IC 101 and IC 102, lie 10' SW and 8' SW.
IC 101 is a faint hazy spot, irregularly round, ~20"-25" diameter. A mag 14.5 star lies 1' S. IC 102 is extremely faint, very small, 15" diameter, no details. This marginal object was just glimpsed as drifted through the field.
17.5" (10/17/87): faint, pretty edge-on steak SSW-NNE, weak concentration. Located 27' N of NGC 524 in a group.
13" (8/24/84): very faint, edge-on streak SSW-NNE.
