NGC 735
24" (11/24/14): at 375x; fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 NW-SE, 36"x15", contains a very small brighter core. A mag 14 star is superimposed on the NW tip. A mag 10.2 star is 1.5' SW and a mag 12 star is 1.4' NW.
Two faint companions are nearby, the trio forming V Zw 146. 2MASX J01563383+3411435 = PGC 2045360 is 1.4' NW of center. It appeared faint, round, 10" dia. Easily visible due to a reasonably high surface brightness. It is situated just 35" NNW of the mag 12 star to the NW of NGC 735. PGC 7293 is 1.4' NE of NGC 735 and appeared extremely faint, round, 8" diameter. Only visible occasionally with averted.
17.5" (11/27/92): faint, small, very elongated 3:1 NW-SE. The apparent elongation may be exaggerated due to a mag 14 star located at the NW edge 20" from center. Several stars are nearby including a mag 10 star 1.5' SW and a mag 11.5 star 1.3' NW. Located about 1¡ north of the NGC 750/751 group.
