NGC 768
24" (12/22/14): fairly faint to moderately bright, elongated at least 2:1 SSW-NNE, 40"x18", brighter along a the major axis (elongated core or bar?). A mag 15.7 star is 50" E of center and a mag 14.5 star is 2' NE. IC 1761 lies 3.7' NE, with the mag 14.5 star nearly at the midpoint. IC 1761 appeared faint to fairly faint, small, round 12" diameter (only the core seen with certainty).
17.5" (12/8/90): extremely faint, very small, round. Located 8' W of mag 8.2 SAO 110258.
