NGC 7209
15x50 IS binoculars (6/19/09): while observing Barnard 168, the fairly prominent, long dark lane that begins near M39 and heads east in the direction of the Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146), I picked up this fairly faint, round, diffuse patch that was easily visible in binoculars. NGC 7209 is perhaps two degrees further ESE and collinear with the B168 dark lane.
17.5" (10/12/85): 100-125 stars are resolved, bright, large. Located in a very rich field so does not stand out conspicuously.
13.1" (9/22/84): about 75 stars, bright, fairly scattered.
8": fairly large, spread out, similar magnitudes. Framed by an 8th magnitude star.
