NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7184 18" (10/21/06): bright, large, very elongated 4:1 WSW-ENE, 4.5'x1.1'. The halo extends to a mag 11.5 star at the tip of the ENE arm. The core is fairly sharply concentrated, round, ~20" in diameter with a stellar nucleus. The extensions have a grainy appearance. Two wide pairs of mag 12 stars (~1' separation) lie 2' W and 7' NW. Brightest and largest in a group of three NGC galaxies (NGC 7180, NGC 7185, NGC 7188). 18" (8/2/05): fairly bright, large, nearly edge-on 4:1 SW-NE, ~4'x1'. Well concentrated with a brighter 30" roundish core. The extensions fade at the tips and increase in size with averted vision. A mag 11.5 star is off the NE extension in the same direction as the major axis and a wide pair of stars is near the southwest end. Brightest in a group with NGC 7180, NGC 7185 and NGC 7188. 17.5" (10/12/85): bright, large, very elongated WSW-ENE with long faint extensions 5'-6' length, small bright core. A mag 12 star is off the NE edge. In a group with NGC 7180, NGC 7185 and NGC 7188. 8" (8/28/81): faint, fairly large, edge-on, narrow.
