Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7196
30" (10/9/15 - OzSky): at 394x; bright, moderately large, very sharply concentrated with the core increasing to a very bright stellar nucleus. The halo extends 4:3 SW-NE, ~1.2'x0.9'. A mag 13.5 star is just off the east edge, 0.6' from center. A curving chain of stars passes just north of the galaxy and continues to the northeast. NGC 7200 lies 14' NE and the pair is part of the same physical group.
PGC 129874 = 2MASX J22060021-5006303, is a small companion off the northeast edge, 1.1' from center. It was easily visible as a faint to fairly faint glow, very small, round, 12"-15" diameter, low surface brightness.
