Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 2329. Wolfgang has recently (2012) found that this galaxy is not H III 875 as suggested by Dreyer, though it does retain the number H II 735 (seen in two sweeps). H III 875 is instead UGC 3696, not included in the NGC. WH saw it in only the second of his sweeps over this field.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2329 18" (1/13/07): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 3:2 N-S, 0.8'x0.5', small bright core. Brightest in the core of AGC 569 including UGC 3696, MCG +08-13-072 and +08-13-082. 18" (11/18/06): moderately bright, moderately large, oval 4:3 N-S, 1.2'x0.9', contains a large, brighter core. This galaxy and UGC 3696, located 2.8' NE, are the brightest member of AGC 569. I observed 7 members of the cluster at 280x. 17.5" (1/19/91): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, bright core. A mag 15 star is 0.7' W of center. Three mag 14 stars lie 1.7' W, 1.3' NE and 2.0' NE. Forms a pair with UGC 3696 3' ENE. Brightest member of AGC 569.
