Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7562 may also be NGC 7575, which see -- but probably is not.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7562 24" (1/1/16): fairly bright, fairly large, oval 3:2 ~E-W, ~1.2'x0.8'. Sharply concentrated with a very bright core that increases to the center. The much fainter halo gradually fades out at the periphery. A mag 13.8 star is 1.8' E. NGC 7557 lies 4.6' WNW and NGC 7562A is 2.3' SSE. Two extremely faint "stars" [mag 16.3 or fainter] were glimpsed close to the position of NGC 7562A and one of these may have been the core of the galaxy as it occasionally seemed non-stellar and possibly elongated N-S. Possible outlying member of the Pegasus I cluster. 18" (11/22/08): fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 3:2 ~E-W, 1.2'x0.8'. Contains a very bright core surrounded by a much fainter halo. The core is concentrated to a bright, quasi-stellar nucleus. 17.5" (8/27/87): fairly bright, moderately large, slightly elongated ~E-W, bright core, stellar nucleus. 17.5" (11/1/86): fairly bright, fairly small, strong bright core, fainter halo slightly elongated ~E-W. Forms a pair with NGC 7557 4.7' WNW. NGC 7591 lies 35' ESE and NGC 7564 36' N.
