Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7241
17.5" (9/2/89): moderately bright, fairly large, very elongated or edge-on SSW-NNE. Asymmetric appearance as the galaxy appears brighter on the SSW end and very faint at the NNE end. A mag 11.5 star is just following the south end 0.8' from center and a mag 13 star is at the NW end. A mag 10 star lies 3.4' SW.
UGC 11964, an extremely thin and faint edge-on (1.9'x0.15'), lies 5' W. It was just glimpsed at 262x and 285x and was too faint to see its needle-like shape clearly, though occasionally was visible as a streak, perhaps 20"x6".
