Steve's Notes

NGC 1112

17.5" (1/9/99): very faint, fairly small, ~40"x25".  Appears as a very low surface brightness glow with no noticeable concentration and an ill-defined edge.  After extended viewing could hold continuously with direct vision.  IC 1850 (possibly NGC 1111) lies 5.6' NW and IC 1846 (possibly NGC 1109) is 19' W.  The NGC identification is very uncertain and CGCG, UGC and MCG label this galaxy as IC 1852 only.
