Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7499 17.5" (8/1/87): faint, small, round, weak concentration. First of three with NGC 7501 2.1' ENE and NGC 7503 5.0' ESE. This trio is the brightest in the Pegasus II cluster. Two very faint members, MCG +01-59-002 and CGCG 406-005 are located 5' W and ~8' SW, respectively. Located 14' NNE of mag 7.2 SAO 128008. CGCG 406-005 required averted vision using 220x to momentarily glimpse a 20", very low surface brightness circular patch, 3.0' NW of a mag 12.5-13 star. A star appears to be very close or involved or possibly the galaxy contains a faint stellar nucleus. Located ~10' SW of the NGC 7499/7501/7503 trio. MCG +01-59-002 was also a difficult target and appeared as an extremely faint, small thin sliver, ~0.3'x0.1', but too faint for any details. Collinear with brighter NGC 7499 and NGC 7501 to the east.
