Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7223 has companion objects that Mitchell noticed in 1857 when he was
observing with LdR's big Birr Castle reflector. The story is in the "notngc"
files under "NGC 7223 companions."
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7223
17.5" (8/1/86): moderately bright, fairly diffuse, slightly elongated ~N-S. There are two stars to the south including one at the south edge.
Forms a close pair with Holm 788B = PGC 214803 1.0' NW. The companion appeared very faint, very small, slightly elongated. It's situated west of a star off the north side of NGC 7223. Also UGC 11927, located 8' WSW, appeared faint, fairly small, elongated NW-SE, very diffuse.
13.1" (8/17/85): fairly faint, moderately large, diffuse, elongated N-S. Extends from a star on the south end in a fan-shape. A faint star is off the north end. A knot is suspected just west of the star at the north end (probably an anonymous companion).
