NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7345 24" (8/31/16): moderately bright and large, edge-on 6:1 SW-NE, 1.0'x0.15', relatively large bright core, the extensions taper at the tips. A mag 9.6 star is 1.8' S. Furthest north in the UGC 12127 Group (WBL 685) with NGC 7342 7' SW and CGCG 514-087 6.8' SSE. The latter galaxy is fairly faint, small, round, 18" diameter, gradually increases to a small, brighter nucleus. 18" (6/25/04): faint, fairly small, thin edge-on 5:1 SW-NE, 0.8'x0.15', very small brighter core. Situated just north of a small group of stars highlighted by a mag 9.6 star 1.7' S. NGC 7342 lies 7' WSW and CGCG 514-087 is 7' SSE. CGCG 514-087 is very faint, very small, round, 0.3' diameter. Contains a slightly brighter 5" core and faint stellar nucleus with direct vision at 300x. Located just south of a line connecting two mag 12.5/15 stars oriented E-W and 9' NE of UGC 12127. 17.5" (8/12/88): faint, fairly small, very elongated SSW-NNE, bright core. A mag 10.5 star is 2' S. Located 6.9' ENE of NGC 7342 in the UGC 12127 group.
