Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1586

17.5" (2/1/92): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NNW-SSE.  Bracketed by two very faint mag 14.5/15 stars close off the WNW end and 30" off the SSE end.  A wide evenly matched mag 11 pair at 1.3' separation lies 7.5' NW and is collinear with the galaxy.  Uncertain identification in the RNGC, UGC, CGCG.
