Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7702
30" (10/13/15 - OzSky): at 303x; very bright, fairly large, elongated at least 2:1 WNW-ESE, 1.4'x0.6', sharply concentrated with an intensely bright core that increases gradually to the center. This galaxy has a strong apparent ring though it is not connected to a bar. The ring was evident as a well defined oval periphery and brightened slightly at the ends of the major axis. A mag 8.2 star lies 3.4' W.
