Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1265
24" (1/28/17): at 282x; large, very diffuse glow with a bright star superimposed just east of center! The galaxy appears as a low surface brightness haze perhaps 1.25' in diameter. With careful viewing, there appeared to be a very small, slightly brighter core just west of the star. A mag 10.4 star lies 2.7' S. IC 312 lies 6' SSW.
17.5" (1/7/89): very faint, small, round glow. This member of the AGC 426 cluster is located just east of a mag 11 star and has a striking location. Forms a pair with IC 312 6' SSW.
Note: The bright star is directly superimposed, so there was some confusion in this observation.
