NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7160 18" (8/17/04): at 160x, ~40 stars are visible in a 8'x6' group, extended SW-NE. Two mag 7 and 8 stars that are separated by 1' dominate the cluster. Both of these stars have much fainter companions. Another nice, mag 13 pair is SW of the mag 7 star. Stands out well in the field. 17.5" (10/5/91): about three dozen stars in a 7' diameter. Very bright, elongated SW-NE although scattered outliers make the cluster rounder. Includes several fairly bright stars with two stars mag 7.0/7.9 at 1.0' separation NE of center which are surrounded by a semicircle of nine stars. Includes several double stars with a mag 10 star that has a very faint companion on its west side. Not rich but distinctive. Mag 6.8 SAO 19698 is 11' NW at the edge of the field. 8" (10/31/81): about two dozen stars in a bright cluster, not dense, includes two mag 8 stars.
