Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 751

17.5" (11/1/86): this is the southern member of double system with NGC 750.  Fairly faint, very small, round.  Appears smaller and fainter than NGC 750 just off the north edge.

13" (10/20/84): double nebula with NGC 750 with two distinct nuclei and probably a common halo, oriented N-S.

8" (11/28/81): both components of NGC 750/751 merge into a single object.
