NGC 802
30" (11/4/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): moderately bright, oval 3:2 NNW-SSE, 0.9'x0.6', broad concentration. Located 27' SE of mag 4.7 Eta-2 Hyi. A mag 13.5 star lies 1.5' W. Forms a pair with ESO 052-014 5.4' NNE. This galaxy appeared fairly faint, moderately large, elongated 3:1 SW-NE, 1.0'x0.3', brighter along the major axis. Two mag 12.7 and 11.7 stars are located 3' W and 5' W of ESO 52-14. The brighter star forms the western vertex of an equilateral triangle with ESO 52-14 and NGC 802. NGC 813 lies 37' SSE.
