NGC 7563
24" (8/30/16): at 375x; moderately bright, fairly small, contains a small bright round core with very faint extensions (bar) E-W. A very low surface brightness halo is elongated 2:1 NW-SE (clearly offset the axis of the "bar"), ~1.2'x0.6'. A group of stars is close east including a mag 10.5 star 2.2' ESE. NGC 7559 (double) lies 6.2' NNW. The trio lies at a distance of 200 million l.y.
17.5" (9/23/89): faint, small, slightly elongated, small bright core, stellar nucleus. Located 2.3' WNW of a mag 10 star. Pair with NGC 7559 6.1' NNW.
