Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7292 48" (10/29/16): at 813x; bright, fairly large, very irregular appearance. A faint star is superimposed just south of a very small brighter nucleus or knot. A bright "bar" extends through the nucleus WNW-ESE, (length ~50"), ending at a fairly bright knot at its WNW end. The knot ((HII complex/OB assocation?) appears ~10"x7" SW-NE. A low surface brightness halo on the north and south side of the bar is roughly oval 3:2 and increases the overall size to ~1.5'x1.0'. Situated in a fairly busy star field. 17.5" (9/2/89): fairly faint, moderately large, oval WNW-ESE, broad concentration. A group of mag 13.5-14 stars are off the NW end including a two mag 13.5 stars 1.2' NW and 1.8' NW.
