Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7063. JH describes this object, seen only in one sweep on 19 August 1828,
as "A poor cluster, stars 10 m." His position falls within an oblong clump of
stars roughly 8 arcmin by 3 arcmin, though it seems to be concentration in a
somewhat larger (11 arcmin by 8 arcmin) group centered about 2.5 arcminutes to
the southwest. Given the paucity of the description, and JH's usual position
uncertainties, either group could be his object. However, the clump of stars
to the northwest is much more obvious on the DSS, so I am taking this as JH's
object.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7063
17.5" (8/7/91): about 35 stars mag 9-15 in a 10' region. Very bright, fairly large, elongated ~N-S. Includes about ten bright stars mag 9-10.5. This is a scattered group with no rich sections. A line of four bright stars is at the west edge and a curving arc of bright stars is just following. Includes a triple star (ES 2126) consisting of a close 4" well-matched mag 11 double star and a third member at 9".
