NGC 7415
28" (10/29/11): at 295x, resolved into two tangent glows oriented E-W, ~0.6'x0.3'. It seemed the western component (MCG +03-58-011) was slightly brighter. At 394x, the eastern component (UGC 12244) was elongated NW-SE, perhaps 0.4'x0.2'. UGC 12244 is identified as NGC 7415 in most sources, though the NGC number should probably apply to the double system.
18" (10/29/11): at 283x, appeared very faint, small, elongated 2:1 WNW-ESE, 0.4'x0.2'. I suspected the glow was double but couldn't confidently resolve this close pair so the description likely refers to the combined glow. Located 4.5' ENE of brighter NGC 7411 and 5.7' SE of
17.5" (9/2/89): extremely faint, small, edge-on NW-SE. Located 5' ENE of NGC 7411.
