Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7177 17.5" (8/5/91): very bright, moderately large, elongated 2:1 E-W, 2'x1'. Unusual appearance as the very bright core is elongated at nearly a 45¡ angle (SW-NE) to the major axis and contains a stellar nucleus. There is a hint of an irregular surface brightness in the outer halo. 13": moderately bright, brighter core, elongated WSW-ENE.
