Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7185
18" (10/21/06): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:3 SSW-NNE, 0.5'x0.35', contains a small bright core, perhaps 5" diameter. There is an extremely faint star superimposed on the southwest side [20" SW of center]. Member of the NGC 7184 group with NGC 7180 10' WSW and NGC 7188 12' NE.
18" (8/2/05): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 3:2 SSW-NNE. Contains a relatively large, bright core and possibly a stellar nucleus. The surface brightness seems irregular, though this may be due to a very faint star that is superimposed.
17.5" (10/12/85): fairly faint, elongated ~N-S, bright core, stellar nucleus, surrounded by faint extensions. Located within the NGC 7184 group. Appears slightly fainter than NGC 7180 10' WSW.
