Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7130 = IC 5135 (which see).  JH's declination is 30 arcmin off.  I suspect 
this is a transcription error with JH's minutes of NPD supposed to read "43" 
instead of "13".  In any event, there is no question about the identification 
of the galaxy that JH saw.  Would that that were true of Swift's "nova" as 
well ...

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7130

17.5" (8/6/97): moderately bright, moderately large, round, ~1.5' diameter.  Well concentrated with a prominent core and much fainter halo.  NGC 7135 lies 19' ENE.

17.5" (7/16/93): moderately bright, moderately large, slightly elongated ~N-S, large bright core.  Appears to have a knot or star superimposed at the north edge.  Second of three with NGC 7135 19' ENE and IC 5131 11' NW.

13" (8/5/83): faint, small, round, NGC 7135 in field 19' ENE.
