Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2771
18" (2/14/10): moderately bright, elonated 2:1 SW-NE, 1.2'x0.6' (this is the brighter bar and I missed the lower surface brightness halo). Contains a well defined, small bright nucleus. This galaxy is slightly fainter than NGC 2769 3.4' NNW with a roughly perpendiclar orientation.
17.5" (4/5/97): the largest member of a small trio with NGC 2767 4.6' WNW and NGC 2769 3.4' NNW appears faint, round, 1.5' diameter with a fairly low surface brightness. Broad concentration with a very faint stellar nucleus with direct vision. Located 13' SW of mag 6.6 SAO 27165.
