Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2769 18" (2/14/10): at 280x, the northern member of a small group with NGC 2771, NGC 2767 and NGC 2762 appeared moderately bright, moderately large, elongated 5:2 NW-SE, 1.3'x0.5'. Gradually increases to a bright core and small, brighter nucleus though there are no well defined zones. 17.5" (4/5/97): brightest of small trio with NGC 2771 3.4' SSE and NGC 2767 3.8' SW. Fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 NW-SE, 1.2'x0.5', brighter core.
