Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1001
18" (12/18/06): fairly faint, fairly small, very elongated 3:1 or 7:2 NW-SE, 0.7'x0.2'. With direct vision a faint stellar nucleus is visible. Occasionally I thought the nucleus was double, but instead there appeared to be an extremely faint star at the NW edge. Located 4.7' E of NGC 999.
17.5" (11/1/86): faint, small, very elongated WNW-ESE. An extremely faint mag 15.5 star is at the west end or an extremely faint companion (appears elongated on the POSS). A mag 13.5 star is 1.4' SE. NGC 999 lies 4.7' W in the NGC 995-1005 group.
