Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7418

18" (10/25/08): fairly bright, very large, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, 2.5'x1.8', broad weak concentration.  The halo fades into the background without a well-defined edge.  This is the largest galaxy visually in the Grus Chain (brightest member IC 1459).

13.1" (10/20/84): fairly large, very diffuse, even surface brightness. Larger than NGC 7421 19' SSE.

8" (7/16/82): very faint, fairly large, round, diffuse.
