NGC 2530

17.5" (11/2/91): very faint, small, elongated 3:2 N-S.  Unusual appearance as a mag 13 star is attached at the north end 0.8' from center and the galaxy appears to fan out to the south.  The edges are difficult to define.  NGC 2522 lies 25' WSW.  Incorrectly identified as NGC 2529 in the RNGC, UGC, CGCG.
