Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7264
24" (9/14/12): fairly faint but excellent thin edge-on 6:1 SW-NE, ~1.2'x0.2', slightly brighter core, very thin extensions. Two mag 11.6/13.3 stars parallel the galaxy off the north side. NGC 7263 is 6.1' WSW and NGC 7265 (brightest in a small quartet) is 11' SSE.
17.5" (8/12/88): faint, fairly small, very elongated SW-NE. A wide double star mag 12/13 at 34" separation is less than 1' N. Pair with NGC 7263 6.1' WSW.
