Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 811. The nominal RA, from a single observation by Leavenworth at Leander McCormick, is about 50 seconds too far east. This is not as bad as many of the Leander McCormick nebulae, but is still off enough that I did not recover this for ESGC. The identity is solidified by the star just an arcminute to the south -- Leavenworth mentions it in his description.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 811 18" (10/25/08): very faint, very small, round, 20" diameter. Once identified this faint galaxy could be held continuously. Located 5.7' ENE of a mag 10.9 star and 22' NNE of mag 7.3 HD 12627.
