Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7307

17.5" (8/26/00): very faint, moderately large, elongated 3:1 SSW-NNE, ~2.5'x0.8', broad concentration, fades at tips.  A mag 13.5-14 star is close west of the SW tip.  This galaxy was difficult to view due to its very low elevation.  Located ~40' SW of a wide mag 6 pair (Sigma-1 and 2 Gruis).
