Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2756 17.5" (2/9/02): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated nearly 2:1 N-S, 1.0'x0.6'. Contains a brighter, roundish core. There is an extremely faint clump of stars (triple on the DSS) about 1' SW which was near the limit of visibility and appeared nebulous. CGCG 264-008 lies 2.8' N.
