Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7408

30" (10/15/15 - OzSky): at 303x; moderately bright, fairly large, irregularly round, ~1.25'x1.0'. There is a hint of a central bar ~N-S, but no well-defined core.  The outer halo has an irregular surface brightness with a hint of structure and extends further on the east side.
