Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2729

17.5" (3/12/94): faint, very small, round, initially appeared elongated E-W due to a mag 15 star attached at the east end which is not cleanly resolved (16" ESE of center).  Faint halo 30" diameter is weakly concentrated, very small brighter core.  A pleasing bright double star mag 9.9/11 at 24" lies 3' S.
