Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7339
24" (6/14/15): bright, fairly large, edge-on 5:1 E-W, 2.2'x0.4', large bright core, slightly mottled appearance. The north edge of the central region has a sharper light cut-off apparently due to dust and a very low surface brightness glow is just beyond this edge.
17.5" (9/2/89): moderately bright, thin edge-on 5:1 E-W, brighter core but no sharp nucleus. Forms a striking pair with edge-on NGC 7332 5.2' W.
8" (7/24/82): faint, very elongated ~E-W. Aligned nearly perpendicular to NGC 7332 5' WNW and has a similar size.
