Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7127.  JH notes this as "A small, poor, but neatly defined cluster of 
stars 10...12 m; with appendages np at some distance."  When I looked at it, I
saw a cluster with two concentrations.  My estimated position for the
southeastern group is close to JH's, so I suppose that is the one that he
measured.  I am, however, going to include the northwestern group since it's
pretty clear that JH saw that, too.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7127

17.5" (7/30/92): at 220x, 15 stars mag 11-14 are visible in a 3' diameter.  Course but evenly spaced and doesn't stand out in the field, appears fully resolved.  The brightest mag 11 star forms the center of fairly striking "stick figure" with six stars or else a 5-pointed "star".  Mag 7 SAO 33682 lies 10' WSW.  About 4' NW is a more scattered group of 10 slightly brighter stars.

8" (10/31/81): compact, about 10 stars mag 10-13 but not rich.  Located 10' E of a mag 7 star.
