NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 1573 24" (2/22/14): fairly bright, moderately large, oval 4:3 SSW-NNE, sharply concentrated with a very bright core. The large halo extends to at least 1.6'x1.2' with averted as the outer portion has a very low surface brightness. A mag 15-15.5 star is at the NNW edge [32" from center]. Several stars follow, including a mag 10.5 star 2.2' E. Brightest in a trio with CGCG 328-007 4.7' NW ("fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, 25"x20", low even surface brightness") and UGC 3069 4.3' SW ("fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated SW-NE, 25"x20", gradually increases to the center, faint stellar nucleus"). 17.5" (1/23/93): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 3:2 SSW-NNE, gradually brighter halo, very small brighter core. A mag 10.5 star is just 2.2' E of core. CGCG 328-007 lies 4.5' NW.
