Steve's Notes

NGC 1527

24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): very bright, fairly large, elongated nearly 3:1 WSW-ENE, 3.2'x1.2'.  Very sharply concentrated with a blazing core that is elongated 2:1, increasing to a very small, intense nucleus.  A mag 14 star lies 1.2' N of center and a mag 15.3 star is a similar distance south of center.  Probable member of the Dorado Group.
