Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2813
18" (3/4/08): faint, fairly small, round, 25" diameter, weak concentration, very small brighter core, faint stellar nucleus with direct vision. Located 2' NE mag 9.2 star that detracts from viewing. Close pair with fainter NGC 2812.
18" (2/9/08): faint, small, round, 0.4' diameter, very weak concentration to a small brighter core. Located 2' NE of mag 9 SAO 80743 and brighter of a close pair with NGC 2812 1.3' NW. Member of the NGC 2809 Group.
18" (3/11/07): faint, fairly small, round, small bright core, 0.6' diameter. Forms a pair with NGC 2812 just 1.3' NW (see observing notes). Located 2' NE of mag 9.2 that detracts from the observations.
17.5" (3/12/94): very faint, round, very low surface brightness halo difficult to view. At first glance, only the core was noticed with a tiny quasi-stellar nucleus. Overpowered by mag 9.0 SAO 80743 2.0' SW. Forms a pair with NGC 2812 at 1.3' NW (not seen). Located 13' SE of NGC 2809 in a group.
