NGC 7049
30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): at 394x; extremely bright, large, oval 4:3 SW-NE, at least 2.0'x1.5', high surface brightness, very sharply concentrated with a blazing core that is mottled and increases to a stellar nucleus. A faint star is embedded just west of the core (not visible on overexposed images).
Brightest in a group a (LGG 444), along with NGC 7041 27' NW. ESO 235-85 lies 7.5' WNW. NGC 7049A = ESO 235-84 + NGC 7041B lies 14' NW. Also one of the brightest members of the Pavo-Indus Cloud along with NGCs 7041, 7083, 7144, 7205.
ESO 235-085 is fairly bright, fairly small, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, 24"x18", very high surface brightness. A mag 15.6 star is 35" N of center.
