Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1505

17.5" (12/30/99): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated E-W, 40"x30".  Increases to a small bright core and stellar nucleus.  Forms the vertex of an isosceles triangle with two mag 11.5-12.5 stars 3.5' WSW and SSW.  Brighter of a close pair with NGC 1504 1.8' SW (inside the triangle).
