Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7549 24" (12/28/13): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 4:3 N-S, 0.8'x0.6', the central region is very weakly concentrated. There was hint of structure with a strong impression of a short arm on the west side extending south. A mag 11.0 star is 1.3' WNW of center. NGC 7547 = HCG 93C lies 3.8' ENE and NGC 7550 = HCG 93A is 5' due south. 24" (12/1/13): fairly faint or moderately bright, moderately large, elongated 3:2 N-S, ~60"x40". Contains a brighter central region that only has a weak, broad concentration towards the center and no distinguishable nucleus. A mag 11 star lies 1.4' WNW of center. 18" (9/3/05): fairly faint, fairly small, irregular round, 0.5', weak concentration. Situated 1.3' following a mag 10.5 star and 5' N of NGC 7550 in HCG 93. 18" (8/27/05): faint, small, round, 25" diameter, low even surface brightness. Follows a mag 10.5 star and 4.8' N of NGC 7550. 17.5" (9/7/96): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 4:3 N-S, very weak concentration. Situated 1.3' following a mag 10.5 star within the HCG 93 quintet and 4.8' N of NGC 7550 = HCG 93a. Listed dimensions include extremely faint plumes not seen visually. 17.5" (9/23/89): fairly faint, fairly small, oval ~N-S, almost even surface brightness. Located 1.3' ESE of a mag 10.5 star. Second brightest in HCG 93 with NGC 7550 4.8' S and NGC 7547 5.2' SW.
