Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7208. JH's RA is one minute of time too small. This was first reported
by Herbert Howe in MNRAS 58, 356, 1898, his first paper reporting observations
of nebulae with the 20-inch Clark refractor at Chamberlin Observatory near
Denver.
The galaxy itself is a peculiar I0 (but aren't they all?!) with a dust lane
not quite aligned along the major axis. The position I've adopted is for the
apparent nucleus to the west of the dust lane, but other positions in the
table from GSC and UB10 are more or less centered on the outer isophotes.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7208
17.5" (8/10/91): fairly faint, fairly small, round, broad concentration but no nucleus. On a line between a mag 11.5 star 1.8' WSW and a mag 11 star 3.3' ENE.
