Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7222
24" (9/10/15): at 260x; fairly faint, small, round, very small brighter nucleus, fairly low surface brightness halo ~24" diameter. A mag 12 star lies 2' S and a mag 13.5 star 1.6' NW. Viewed in fairly poor transparency.
CGCG 377-036 lies 4.4' E. It appeared faint, very small, round, 12"-15" diameter. A 4" double (mag 13.5/14.5) is just 0.6' E of center.
17.5" (8/31/86): faint, fairly small, diffuse, broadly concentrated. Located between a mag 12 star 1.9' S and mag 13 star 1.5' NW. A mag 11 star is 4.9' WNW. Relatively large for such a faint galaxy.
