Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1022

17.5" (10/29/94): fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 4:3 WNW-ESE, 1.5'x1.2'.  Broadly concentrated halo contains a well-defined fairly bright 30" core.  The core increases to a stellar nucleus.  At times the elongation appears more pronounced.  A mag 13 star lies 2.1' NE of center.

8" (10/13/81): faint, small, diffuse, broad concentration, slightly elongated.
