Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7335, 7336, 7337, and 7340 are correctly identified by just about everybody except the Lick astronomers who, as Steve Gottlieb notes, have thoroughly mangled the identifications in the area of NGC 7331.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7335 48" (10/24/14): at 488x; fairly bright, moderately large, elongated nearly 5:2 NNW-SSE, 0.9'x0.35'. Contains a very bright core. 24" (7/21/12): at 322x was moderately bright and large, elongated 5:2 NNW-SSE, ~50"x20", relatively large bright oval core that gradually increases to the center. This is the brightest of the four "companions" to NGC 7331 with the faintest galaxy, NGC 7336, situated 2.1' NNE. The quartet is actually far in the background (8x the redshift) of NGC 7331, at a similar redshift as Stephan's Quintet with the exception for NGC 7320, which has a similar redshift as NGC 7331. 18" (8/1/08): at 280x appeared fairly faint or moderately bright, very elongated nearly 3:1 NNW-SSE, well concentrated with a small, bright elongated core. With averted vision increases in size to 1.2'x0.35'. This is easily the brightest of four companions on the east side of NGC 7331. 18" (7/19/04): at 225x appears fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 NNW-SSE, contains a bright core which increases to a faint stellar nucleus, ~0.8'x0.35', though increases in size with averted vision to 1.0'x0.4'. Brightest of four companions on the following side of NGC 7331. 17.5" (8/27/87): fairly faint, bright core, elongated 5:2 NNW-SSE, small bright core. This is the brightest and largest of the four following companions of NGC 7331 located 3.5' ENE of center. A mag 14 star is 1.3' NE. Extremely faint NGC 7336 is 2.1' NNE. 17.5" (9/14/85): fairly faint, bright core, very elongated NNW-SSE. 13" (9/29/84): easily the brightest and largest of the companions to NGC 7331. Fairly faint but easily visible with direct vision at 220x, gradually increases to center, elongated NNW-SSE. 13" (7/27/84): fairly faint, elongated NNW-SSE, broad concentration. Located 3.6' E of the center of NGC 7331. Extremely faint NGC 7336 is 2' NNE. 8" (8/28/81): extremely faint, very small, requires averted.
