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.
