=====

NGC 7639

17.5" (9/7/96): very faint, small, round, 30" diameter.  Similar size as IC 1483 = NGC 7638 but contains a very small brighter core that makes it a little easier to view.  Just preceding a small triangle of mag 12-14.5 stars.  Also collinear with a wide pair 5' SW near IC 1483.  Brightest in a trio with IC 1484 2.1' WNW and IC 1483 4.5' SW.

The identification of IC 1483 is certain but NGC 7639 is uncertain.
