Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1759

18" (1/17/09): very faint, small, round, 25" diameter.  Not seen initially (confused a close double star as nebulous) until I carefully checked the position.  This galaxy is the brightest member of AGC 3301 and the only one viewed at a very low elevation (9 degrees).
