Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7706 24" (11/24/14): moderately bright and large, oval 4:3 WNW-ESE, contains a bright, elongated core and a faint, oval halo. A mag 14.8 star is on the south edge [27" from center]. Brightest in the WBL 718 group. 18" (11/14/09): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated ~E-W. Contains a very small, slightly brighter center with an occasional very faint stellar nucleus. A mag 14.5 star is just off the south side. One of the brightest members of a group that includes 10 galaxies in a one-degree circle. Similar NGC 7704 lies 4.5' SSW. 17.5" (8/27/87): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated WNW-ESE, broad concentration. A mag 14 star is 27" SW of center. Similar in size and brightness to NGC 7704 4.7' SSW but a weaker concentration. 17.5" (11/1/86): similar in size and brightness to NGC 7704 but contains a slightly brighter core. Slightly elongated NW-SE, a faint star is 1' SW.
