Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7577.  I was skeptical about Wolfgang's identification of this (the Lyon
folks fingered the same faint galaxy), even with the star close northeast.  
So, I reduced Bigourdan's observation -- his position falls exactly and 
cleanly between star and galaxy.  He apparently really did see the pair, so it
is in the big table.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7577

17.5" (11/18/95): extremely faint and small, round, 10" diameter.  Forms a close pair with a mag 15 star off the ENE edge 23" from center that confuses the observation.  Cannot hold steadily with averted at 220x but observation certain.  Faintest in trio and located 8.8' due west of NGC 7583 and 9.5' SW of NGC 7604.
