Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7325 is a close double star north preceding a slightly fainter single star. There can be no question as to the identity: Schultz's accurate position pinpoints the object he was looking at, and Lord Rosse's observer's offsets (distance and position angle) land on exactly the same object. The RNGC is of course wrong (RNGC 7325 is a relatively bright star superimposed on a much fainter galaxy). Both Schultz and LdR found the object while they were observing NGC 7331.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7325 17.5" (10/17/98): this is a very faint double star 4.5' SW of the core of NGC 7331. At 220x only the brighter mag 14 component was evident but at 280x and 380x a fainter mag 15 companion at 15" S was visible. A wide pair of mag 12/13 stars that are collinear with the core of the galaxy lie 1.5' NW. RNGC misidentifies NGC 7325 with PGC 69291 at 22 36 33.4 +34 30 05.
