Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1437

18" (1/21/04): large, low surface brightness glow with just a weak concentration.  Appears slightly elongated NNW-SSE, perhaps 2.5'x2.0', but edges fade into the background so difficult to determine the outline of the halo.  A mag 9.7 star lies 11' NE.  Member of the Fornax I cluster.
