NGC 1199
17.5" (10/13/90): moderately bright, fairly small, oval 4:3 SSW-NNE, broadly concentrated halo, small bright core. A mag 11 star is 2.8' NE. This galaxy is the brightest in a small, rich group (HCG 22) of extremely faint galaxies. Nearby are NGC 1190 4.1' SW, NGC 1191 4.6' SSW, NGC 1189 3.4' W, NGC 1192 4.0' S. An extremely faint mag 15 star or possibly an anonymous galaxy is 2' N.
13" (1/18/85): moderately bright, small, round, diffuse halo surrounded by a fairly bright stellar nucleus.
