Steve's Notes

===== NGC 1089 24" (1/28/17): at 282x; fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated ~N-S, ~0.5'x0.4', very small brighter core, occasional stellar nucleus. Arp 131, a close interacting pair consisting of MCG -03-08-025 and -026 off the northeast side [52" between centers], lies 24' NE. MCG -03-08-025 appeared fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated ~E-W, 30"x24", strongly concentrated with a very small bright nucleus. MCG -03-08-026 was faint, small, round, 15" diameter, no zones. 17.5" (11/26/94): very faint, small, round, 0.4' diameter. Symmetrical appearance with a weak, even concentration to a faint stellar nucleus. Third of three on a line with NGC 1083 18' SSW and NGC 1081 34' SSW.
