Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7227
17.5" (8/27/92): faint, small, elongated 3:2 N-S, weak concentration, low surface brightness. View hindered by a mag 10 star at the SW end 34" from the center! Pair with NGC 7228 3.6' ESE. Nearby are UGC 11950 12' E and IC 5180 13' NNW.
On two occasions, I have picked up nearby galaxies instead of NGC 7227/7228 from the Sierra Buttes! These include IC 5180/MCG +06-48-014 (for the pair) and CGCG 513-016 (for NGC 7227).
