NGC 835
18" (11/14/09): fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 3:2 N-S, ~55"x35", sharply concentrated with a small intense core. Brightest in the striking HCG 16 group.
18" (10/21/06): moderately bright, fairly small, round, sharply concentrated with a very bright small core. This galaxy is the brightest member of HCG 16 (one of the best Hickson groups) and the eastern member of a close pair with NGC 833 1' W. A mag 9.7 star lies 2.7' S and NGC 838 lies 3.5' E, roughly on a line with NGC 833.
17.5" (8/31/86): moderately bright, small, round, bright core. Brightest of four in the HCG 16 group and forms a close pair with NGC 833 1.0' W. NGC 838 lies 3.4' E and NGC 839 5.3' SE. A mag 10 star lies 2.7' S.
