Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1567
24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): fairly bright, fairly small, round, 40"-45" diameter. Sharply concentrated with a small bright core. A mag 10.5 star lies 5' SW.
NGC 1567 forms a pair (same redshift and likely interacting) with ESO 202-009 3' SSW. The companion appeared very faint, fairly small, thin edge-on SSW-NNE, 40"x12", low surface brightness. Viewed with a 4.5-day moon up.
