Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1083

17.5" (11/26/94): fairly faint but striking edge-on streak 5:1 SSW-NNE, 1.5'x0.3'.  Weak concentration with no distinct core.  Located almost at the midpoint of two mag 11 stars 2.5' NW and 3.2' SE.  Second of three on a line with NGC 1081 16' SW and NGC 1089 18' NE.
