Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7489
13.1" (9/22/84): fairly faint, very diffuse, fairly small. A mag 14 star is very close southwest, just 33" from the center. Located 4.5' SSW of mag 8.9 SAO 91024 and 10.7' WSW of mag 8.3 SAO 91034. NGC 7489 is larger and slightly brighter than IC 5285 8.6' WSW. IC 5285, an unusual ring galaxy, appeared faint, very small, almost round, slightly elongated ~E-W, possible faint stellar nucleus. A very faint mag 14.5 star is at the west edge, 23" from center.
