NGC 7637

24" (4/12/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): fairly faint, fairly small, round, 40" diameter, weak concentration, slightly brighter core.  A mag 13.5 star is just off the north edge of the halo, 0.7' from the center.  PGC 224614, a very faint galaxy, lies 2.3' NW.  NGC 7637 is the 4th closest NGC galaxy to the south celestial pole.
