Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1071

17.5" (11/28/97): extremely faint, small, round, 25" diameter, very low surface brightness, no concentration.  Requires averted vision and probably only viewed the core as this galaxy has low surface brightness arms.  Nearly collinear with two mag 11/12 stars 3.3' E and 4.6' W, respectively.
