Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7420

17.5" (7/17/93): very faint, small, elongated 4:3 WSW-ENE, 0.7'x0.5', faint stellar nucleus or star superimposed.  Located between a mag 9.0 SAO 90876 4.6' WNW and a mag 10.5 star 4.1' ESE.  Several faint stars that confuses the observation are near south.  These include a close mag 14 pair at 9" separation.
