NGC 1049
48" (10/29/16): at 488x; very bright, moderately large, very high surface brightness, granular appearance, ~50" diameter. There are three well defined brightness zones: an extremely bright compact nucleus, a small bright core and a much lower surface brightness halo with a fairly well defined circular edge.
30" (11/4/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): very bright, moderately large, very sharply concentrated with a very small, very bright core surrounded by 1' halo that dims around the periphery.
24" (9/14/12): at 325x, moderately bright, fairly small, round, bright core, 30" diameter.
18" (12/10/07): moderately bright gc in the Fornax Dwarf. Appears small, round, ~30" diameter, gradually increases to a small brighter core. Located 15' NNE of mag 8.4 HD 16690. Brightest gc in the Fornax Dwarf.
17.5" (10/8/88): fairly faint, very small, round, small bright core.
13.1" (10/10/86): brightest of four globular clusters in the Fornax Dwarf galaxy. Moderately bright (estimate V = 12), small, very small bright core, faint halo. Located 15' NNE of mag 8.0 SAO 193841. Fornax Dwarf galaxy not seen.
