Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7492
24" (11/24/14): picked up at 200x as a faint, large, low surface brightness glow with a very weak concentration, 4'-5' diameter. At 375x, a few resolved stars shine steadily and quite a number pop in/out view consistently. Perhaps two dozen are intermittently resolved, though too lively (particularly with averted vision) to count reliably. These are the brightest red giant members and range from mag 15.5 to 16+.
17.5" (8/1/86): faint, large, round, diffuse, no resolution.
8" (8/2/81): very faint, diffuse, moderately large, no resolution. Very low surface brightness for a NGC globular and difficult with this aperture.
