Steve's Notes

===== NGC 592 18" (12/8/07): moderately bright HII complex, ~40"x30". There appears to be faint star or stellar knot superimposed. Located 8' due west of the core with NGC 588 an additional 6' further west on the same line. 17.5" (7/5/86): faint nebulosity in M33 9' WSW of the core. Forms the vertex of an obtuse isosceles triangle with NGC 588 6' W and NGC 595 6' NE. 13.1" (8/15/82): fairly easy HII region with averted vision.
