NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7193. While this is another of RNGC's "non-existent" clusters, it is clearly seen on DSS and the POSS1 prints about 1 minute preceding JH's position (he cautioned that many of the positions from early sweeps -- this is from Sweep 14 on 13 October 1825 -- are unreliable). The core is a band of 11 stars, 6 arcmin by 1 arcmin, stretching from the northwest to the southeast. There are other stars scattered around it, primarily to the south and west.

===== NGC 7193 18" (8/8/10): I noticed this asterism, while observing IC 5160, located in the same field 7' to the north. The group is a distinctive asterism of about a dozen mag 11-12 stars that is elongated NW to SE and extends 6'x1' or nearly twice this length if you include some scattered stars extending NW. The group stands out well at low power and is a good impostor of a scattered cluster. 17.5" (9/23/95): this asterism consists of almost two dozen scattered stars mostly mag 10 and 11 in an elongated 10'x2' group oriented WNW-ESE. The stars are spread out but well detached in the field and immediately catch the eye at low power. A faint galaxy IC 5160 lies 7' N of the center of the group.
