Steve's Notes

===== NGC 1065 17.5" (12/20/95): In a trio with slightly brighter IC 253 2.7' N and extremely faint IC 252 just 1.0' SSW (forms compact galaxy group SCG 19). Appears faint, small, irregularly round, 25" diameter. There is no core but contains a definite faint stellar nucleus. A mag 11 star is 2.9' SE of center. Located 9' E of mag 7.6 SAO 48549. IC 253 is fairly faint, fairly small, round, small bright core, stellar nucleus, 30" diameter. IC 254 is an extremely faint, round, barely nonstellar spot just 1.0' SSW of NGC 1065. Requires averted vision to glimpse and <10" diameter.
