NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7385. See NGC 7384.

===== NGC 7385 24" (7/30/16): at 260x; moderately to fairly bright, slightly elongated SW-NE, ~1.3'x1.0', moderate concentration with a bright core that gradually increases to the center. A mag 11.5 is just off the NW edge, 1.0' from center. Brightest in a group (WBL 688, the core of ZwCl 2247.3+1107 at roughly 360 million l.y.) with 6 NGC galaxies and numerous additional fainter galaxies. Only slightly fainter NGC 7386 is 5.8' NNE. 18" (10/21/06): moderately bright, moderately large, elongated 4:3 SW-NE. Appears similar to NGC 7386, though slightly larger and brighter. Contains a bright, 25" core and a much fainter halo. A mag 10.8 star is just off the northwest side, 1' from the center. Brightest in a compact group of 7 galaxies (not rich enough to qualify as an Abell cluster). 17.5" (7/4/86): moderately bright, broadly concentrated halo, small bright core, slightly elongated ~N-S. A mag 11 star is 1.0' NW. Brightest in a group with NGC 7383 5.6' SW, NGC 7384 ~5' SSW, NGC 7386 5.8' NNE, NGC 7387 5.9' ENE, NGC 7389 5.9' ESE and NGC 7390 7.7' SE.
