Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7213 18" (11/22/08): fairly bright [even from northern California!], moderately large, round, 1.5' diameter. Contains a bright 30" core that gradually increases to the center and a much fainter outer halo. 18" (7/5/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): bright, moderately large, round, 1.8' diameter. Well concentrated with a small bright core that increases to a very bright stellar nucleus. Forms the western vertex of an acute isosceles triangle with two equal mag 10.5 stars 6' E and 6' SE. Located 16' SE of mag 1.7 Alpha Gruis (Al Nair). 11" (8/8/04 - Haleakala Crater, Hawaii): fairly bright, moderately large, round, 1.5' diameter, increases to a small bright core. Very symmetrical appearance. Easy to locate 16' SE of mag 1.7 Alpha Gruis. Forms the western vertex of an isosceles triangle with two mag 10.5 stars ~6' E and SE. 13.1" (7/20/85): fairly faint, small, bright core. 13.1" (9/11/82): faint, small, round. Located 16' SE of Alpha Gruis (V = 1.7). This is farthest southern galaxy observed from northern California.
