Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7064 30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): at 394x; fairly bright, very large, thin edge-on 7:1 E-W, ~2.5'x0.35', no distinct core. The surface is slightly mottled and two or three stellar or quasi-stellar knots were noted (probable HII regions); one near the west end, one east of center, and one near the center. A mag 10 star is 1.3' SSW of center and a mag 14 star is 1' to its east.
