NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7070 30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): at 303x; fairly prominent due to large size but overall modest surface brightness. Appears as a large cottony oval SSW-NNE, ~1.7'x1.4'. There appears to be a brighter bar in the center oriented E-W and a strong suggestion of structure in the outer halo. There is either a stellar knot or star superimposed just west side of the weak "bar" (Carnegie-Irvine image shows this to be a star) and the halo either contains some slightly brighter regions or knots. NGC 7072 lies 4.5' SSE and NGC 7072A is 7' due south. 18" (10/16/09): very faint, very low surface brightness patch with no concentration. Requires averted to glimpse a 1' hazy glow with no definite edge. First and largest in a trio with NGC 7072 4.5' SE and NGC 7070A 21' NE. The observation was affected by the low elevation of this group, though this may be a very diffuse galaxy.
