Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7599

13.1" (11/5/83): extremely faint, fairly large, very elongated SW-NE, at visual threshold.  Located 4.9' ESE of NGC 7590.  Faintest of three nearly edge-on galaxies in the field (Grus Quartet including NGC 7552).  Observation hampered by very low elevation from Northern California.
