Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7236 24" (9/27/14): first and brightest in a linear trio (Arp 169) with a total length of only 1.2'. At 375x appeared fairly faint, very small, round, compact, high surface brightness, 18" diameter. Forms a very close pair with NGC 7237 just 35" SE. A trio of mag 14 star is to the N and NE and a mag 10 star is 2.7' SW. Brightest in the poor cluster WBL 678 with CGCG 428-057 5.5' SW ("faint, very small (core), round, 12" diameter"), UGC 11953 13' WSW ("faint, very thin streak, 30"x6", even surface brightness"), CGCG 428-049 15' WSW ("very faint, very elongated 7:2 NNW-SSE, 27"x8", even surface brightness") and CGCG 428-054 8.5' NW. 17.5" (8/20/88): first and brightest of three with NGC 7237 35" SE of center and an anonymous galaxy 1.2' SE, all equally spaced on a NW-SE line. Appears faint, very small, round, small bright core, in a common halo with NGC 7237. Located 2.7' NE of a mag 10 star. The trio forms Arp 169.
