Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7043 is very close to Marth's place northeast of NGC 7042. Reinmuth, however, lists N7043 as "Not found." I found, though, that he has the note in parentheses which indicates that the only plate available to him showing the object was less than optimal in some respect -- underexposed, or the object was near the edge of the plate, or perhaps covered by a defect, etc. His description of N7042, considerably brighter and including the note "difficult," is also in parentheses, so I am not surprised that N7043 did not show up on the plate.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7043 17.5" (8/31/86): very faint, small, round. Located 5.4' NE of much brighter NGC 7042. Observed through haze.
