Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1354

18" (11/23/05): this galaxy was a pleasant surprise as it appeared moderately bright and large, very elongated 3:1 NW-SE, 1.4'x0.3'.  Contains a fairly bright bulging core with fainter extensions that fade and taper at the tips (spindle shape).  A mag 14 star lies off the SE end, 1.2' S of center.
