Steve's Notes

===== NGC 1350 18" (12/22/11): bright, large, oval 2:1 N-S, 3.0'x1.4'. Sharply concentrated with a very bright oval core surrounded by a much fainter halo. The core steadily increases to a very small, brighter, quasi-stellar nucleus. Located 6' SW of mag 7.2 HD 21988 and 194353 and 8.7' SE of mag 8.9 HD 21898. 17.5" (11/26/94): bright, fairly large, elongated 3:2 N-S. The halo appears about 3'x2' although difficult determine the exact dimensions as the halo fades gradually into the background. Sharply concentrated with a very bright 20" round core and stellar nucleus. A very faint star is just west of the south extension and two mag 12 stars are 2.7' SE and 3.0' E of center. Located 6' SW of mag 7.2 SAO 194353. Fornax I cluster member. 8" (10/13/81): fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 2:1 N-S, bright core.
