Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7059
30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): at 394x; bright, fairly large, elongated 2:1 E-W, ~2'x1', well concentrated with a round very bright core. There is knot (in a spiral arm?) near the northwest end of the core. A mag 10.6 star is 1.9' S of center. This star is a fairly close, very unequal pair (not catalogued in the WDS) and was just resolved. Two additional equally spaced stars extend to the southwest. Also, three collinear mag 13 stars extend to the west of the galaxy. IC 5110 lies 25' E.
