Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7055
17.5" (8/25/95): this is a small, unimpressive group of just 10 mag 12-14.5 stars in a 3' region. The group is only distinguishable because it is detached in the field. There are some brighter scattered stars to the south, which John Herschel may have included in his 8' estimate. The group of stars appears to be fully resolved and just an asterism. Interestingly, there is a large, fairly bright and rich star field about 30' SW centered about 21 16.5 +57 28" (2000) which appears to be a cluster but is not listed in the Lynga catalogue.
