NGC 950
24" (12/22/14): at 375x; fairly faint, fairly small, round, 0.4' diameter, fairly low even surface brightness. Collinear with two mag 13/14.5 stars to the southwest. Forms a pair with MCG -02-07-020 = PGC 9454 2.1' due west. The companion (B = 15.5) appeared very faint to faint, small, 18"x12", can just hold continuously. An uncatalogued double star at ~6" separation lies 5.7' NW. NGC 942/943, a double system, lies 12' N.
17.5" (12/4/93): faint, small, round, unconcentrated with a low surface brightness. A wide pair of mag 13/14 stars with separation 37" are 2' SW. Located 5.1' NNW of mag 8.3 SAO 148415. The double system NGC 942/NGC 943 lies 12' N.
