Steve's Notes

NGC 672
24" (12/28/13): at 225x appeared very bright, very large, elongated 5:2 WSW-ENE, mottled appearance. Contains a brighter, elongated "bar" that is slightly angled (roughly 7:2 E-W) to the major axis of the halo. Slightly brighter "patches" were visible just beyond the bar (on both the east and west side), probably where spiral arms attach to the bar. IC 1727 lies 8' SW.
13.1" (11/5/83): fairly bright, elongated 5:2 WSW-ENE, even surface brightness. Bracketed by a mag 13.5 star 2.2' WNW and a mag 13 star 3.2' E. Brightest in a group with IC 1727 8' SW.
8" (11/13/82): fairly faint, low even surface brightness, fairly large, diffuse. Two mag 13.5 stars lie NW and at the east edge.
8" (11/28/81): faint, fairly large, very diffuse, elongated ~E-W.
