Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7526. WH simply calls this "eF, vS", then adds, "240 left doubtful." Whatever it was that caused him concern has not come down to us as GC and NGC not only left off the final remark, but gave us no notes, either. In any case, the object is a short line of three stars; there is a fourth nearby to the northwest. WH's position is 8 seconds preceding and 1.5 arcmin north, but that is well within his usual errors.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7526 18" (10/25/08): at 174x this object appears as a mag 14 star with a nearby very small knot (sometimes resolved) close SSE [35"]. At 450x the "knot" is cleanly resolved into a close, faint triple star with components 15-15.5 and separations 9" and 13". Located 29' WSW of mag 4.2 91 Aqr.
