NGC 995
18" (12/18/06): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 SW-NE, 0.6'x0.4', weak concentration with a slightly brighter core except for a stellar or quasi-stellar nucleus with direct vision. A mag 14.5 star is at the east edge. Member of the NGC 995-1005 cluster (~40' N of NGC 1003). Nearby galaxies include NGC 1000 5.3' SE, 2MASX J02382515+4135182 3.8' NNW and NGC 996 7.2' NNE. These galaxies, as well as NGC 999, NGC 1001 and NGC 1005 are arranged in a partial ring of diameter 13'!
17.5" (11/1/86): fairly faint, fairly small, oval SW-NE, bright core. A mag 15 star is just off the east edge. Located at the west edge of the NGC 995-1005 group with NGC 996 7' NNE and NGC 1000 5' SE.
