Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1181

17.5" (1/28/00): extremely faint, very small, slightly elongated E-W, 0.4'x0.2', requires averted.  Was only able to detect the brighter central region and missed the extensions.  Slightly fainter of a close pair with NGC 1181 2.4' NE.  Located 2' WNW of a mag 12 star. This galaxy is identified as NGC 1151 in the RNGC.
