NGC 7296
17.5" (10/5/91): compact group of roughly 30 stars in a 3'x2' area elongated N-S. A mag 9 star is at the NW edge. Most stars are arranged in a curved arc roughly N-S. A string of four perfectly collinear stars trail from this arc to the NE. Not particularly distinctive as located in a rich star field. Contains about ten faint stars mag 14-14.5. Located 40' E of Beta Lacertae (V = 4.4).
8" (11/8/80): 15 stars extended N-S between two mag 8 and 9 stars. Appears faint and small with an unresolved background haze.
