Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7105 is one of the Leander McCormick nebulae found by Leavenworth; its nominal position is particularly bad. Fortunately, Leavenworth left a sketch so that we can positively identify the nebula with MCG -02-55-001, about 25 arcmin southeast of the nominal position.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7105 18" (7/30/03): at 257x appears faint, small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 0.6'x0.4', contains a small brighter core. Situated just 33" SE of a mag 10 star that detracts from viewing! This galaxy is located 25' SE of Leavenworth's position but was positively identified as NGC 7105 using the Leander McCormick sketch.
