Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 932 is the correct number to apply to WH's nebula, not NGC 930 (which is 
lost; see its note for more) as most modern catalogues do.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 932

24" (1/1/16): fairly faint/moderately bright, round, 40" diameter, small bright core.  A mag 14 star is 50" SE and a mag 12.4 star is 1.7' NW. 

17.5" (1/20/90): fairly faint, small, round, bright core.  A very faint 15th magnitude "star" (emission knot) is involved at the NE end.  A mag 14 star is 1' ESE.  NGC 938 lies 10' ESE.
