Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7061
30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): at 303x and 394x; moderately bright, elongated 2:1 or 5:2 NW-SE, ~36"x 18", small brighter core. In line with three nearby mag 15.5, 14.5 and 13.5 stars extending to the southeast
NGC 7071 is the brightest in a small (physical) group including ESO 236-014 2.5' S and Fairall 970 4.6' SW. ESO 236-014 appeared fairly faint, small, elongated 3:2 SSW-NNE, 20"x14". A mag 13.5 star is 1.4' E. Fairall 970 is moderately bright, fairly small, high surface brightness, very bright core, elongated halo WNW-ESE, 0.4'x0.25'. A mag 16.2 star is just off the WNW end. I was surprised that this galaxy is nearly as prominent as NGC 7061!
