Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7233
18" (7/5/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): faint, small, round, ~30" diameter, increases gradually to the center. The halo increases a bit with averted vision to 0.6' diameter. This unassuming galaxy is in a pretty striking arrangement, sandwiched between brighter NGC 7232 1.9' W and mag 8.9 HD 211121 1.5' following. NGC 7232B, situated 4' N, was not noticed although the observation was compromised by a partially dewed secondary.
13.1" (8/17/85): not seen from northern California (very low elevation).
