===== NGC 7649 = IC 1487, which see.

===== NGC 7649 18" (8/26/06): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, 0.7'x0.6', very weak concentration. Forms a close pair with PGC 2832048 0.9' NE . This companion appeared extremely faint and small, round, 6" diameter, requires averted vision. A total of 8 galaxies (most 10"-15" knots) were seen in AGC 2593 at 323x. PGC 95722, 2.6' SW of NGC 7649, is extremely faint, appears elongated SW-NE, 15"x10". PGC 1465051, 3.7' NNE of NGC 7649, is extremely faint, round, 10" diameter. PGC 71356, 2.9' ESE of NGC 7649, is similar as well as MCG +02-59-037, 4.2' E. PGC 95729, 4.4' NE, is extremely faint, appears stellar at times, otherwise ~6" in diameter. CGCG 431-056, 5.2' ESE, is a bit larger and brighter than the previous galaxies and nearly spans between a pair of 14th-magnitude stars 20" SSW and 30" E. 17.5" (8/22/98): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 ~E-W, 0.9'x0.6'. Located less than 3' SW of a mag 11 star. This galaxy was the brightest of four members viewed in AGC 2593 in Jim Shield's scope at 220x. 17.5" (7/19/90): faint, fairly small, almost round, weak concentration. A mag 11 star is 2.8' ENE of center. Brightest of five in the core of AGC 2593. Surrounded by three anonymous galaxies 1.0' NE, 2.6' SW and 3.6' NNE and MCG +02-59-037 lies 5' ESE. Located 9' N of mag 7.9 SAO 108595.
