NGC 7469
17.5" (11/1/86): sharp, bright stellar nucleus (Sy 1 galaxy) surrounded by a small faint halo. A faint star is just east. Forms a close pair (Arp 298) with IC 5283 1.3' NNE. Located at the western vertex of a triangle with mag 8.5 SAO 127930 5.4' SE and mag 8.4 SAO 27929 6.3' NE. This is a Seyfert galaxy with a variable nucleus. IC 5283 is a very faint glow, small, round, diffuse, with an even surface brightness.
13" (11/13/82): moderately bright, small, round, small bright nucleus surrounded by small diffuse halo. The nucleus dominates the galaxy. Located along the west side of three mag 9-10 stars.
