Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7592
24" (8/23/14): at 375x appeared fairly faint, fairly small, irregular. With careful viewing, the highest surface brightness component is the core of the eastern galaxy (identified as NGC 7592B = Mrk 928 in NED), with most of the glow extending southwest, creating an asymmetric appearance. The nucleus of the western galaxy (identified as NGC 7592A in NED) appeared faint and extremely small, perhaps 5" diameter. The arm or wing to its north was not seen. The two nuclei are separated by only 13" as measured on ALADIN.
17.5" (8/7/91): faint, small, round. NGC 7592A, a very faint and extremely small companion (only the nucleus was observed) attached at the west edge, was just resolved. NGC 7585 lies 17' SW. This is an interacting/colliding pair on the POSS with nuclei only 15" apart!
