Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1101

17.5" (12/28/94): fairly faint, small, elongated 2:1 E-W, 0.8'x0.4', very small bright core.  Forms a "double" with a mag 13 star at the west end 24" from the center.  Starting about 4' SW is a very shallow arc of five mag 12-13 stars open to the NW with two 30" pairs at the SW and east ends of the arc and a total length of 4.5'.  Forms a pair with NGC 1095 10' NW.
