NGC 924
24" (1/1/16): at 375x; moderately bright, oval SW-NE, 45"x30", sharply concentrated with a small bright core and quasi-stellar nucleus. The outer halo has a low surface brightness. Forms a close pair with CGCG 462-013 2.1' NE. This physical companion appeared extremely faint, low surface brightness, ~15" diameter.
17.5" (1/20/90): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated SW-NE, broadly concentrated halo, distinct stellar nucleus.
