Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1125
24" (1/28/17): at 225x and 375x; moderately bright, elongated nearly 3:1 SW-NE, 1.0'x0.35', small bright core, stellar nucleus. Forms a very close (optical) pair with MCG -03-08-034 barely off the southwest end [0.9' from center]. At 375x, the companion appeared very faint, very small, slightly elongated N-S, 12"x8". The redshift of MCG -03-08-034 is nearly 3x that of NGC 1089, so they don't form a physical pair.
17.5" (11/18/95): moderately bright, fairly small, very elongated 7:2 SW-NE, 1.5'x0.4', small bright core. MCG -03-08-034 at the southwest tip was not seen.
