Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1482
24" (12/1/13): moderately bright to fairly bright, fairly large, oval 5:3 WNW-ESE, ~1.5'x0.9'. Contains a large bright core that increases to a very small, bright nucleus. Surrounding the core is a very low surface brightness halo. Forms a right triangle with two bright stars; mag 8.6 HD 24694 2.3' ENE and mag 8.6 HD 24672 2.6' NNW. Brightest in a triplet (KTS 22) with NGC 1481 5.0' NW and ESO 549-35 9' NE. The dust lane in this IR-luminous starburst galaxy was not seen.
17.5" (2/1/92): faint, fairly small, elongated 4:3 ~E-W, broad concentration. Forms the southern vertex of an isosceles triangle with mag 8.7 SAO 168936 2.5' NW and mag 8.6 SAO 168941 2' NE! Forms a pair with NGC 1481 5' NNW..
