NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7704 24" (11/24/14): at 375; fairly faint to moderately bright, oval 3:2 WSW-ENE, bright core, halo increases with averted, 0.6'x0.4'. A mag 15 star is off the SE side [45" from center]. PGC 214966 lies 2.0' WSW of center and appeared very faint, round, 10" diameter. Slightly brighter NGC 7706 is 4.6' NNE and NGC 7705 is 5.6' S. 18" (11/14/09): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 WSW-ENE, 0.6'x0.4', very weak concentration. PGC 214966 lies 1.9' WSW and appeared extremely faint and small, round, 6" diameter. This compact galaxy was near my visual threshold and only occasionally visible as a tiny knot. A mag 12 star is 3' W and a mag 15-16 star is less than 1' ESE. 17.5" (8/27/87): fairly faint, small, slightly elongated SW-NE, small brighter core. A mag 15 star is 0.8' SE of center. In a group with NGC 7705 5.7' S and NGC 7706 4.7' NE. NGC 7696 lies 19' W. 17.5" (11/1/86): fairly faint, fairly small, very little concentration, slightly elongated SW-NE. A faint star is 1' off the SE end. Observation in very poor seeing.
