Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7767. Though both Reinmuth and CGCG suggested that this is identical to IC 1511 (which see), it is a different object. Bigourdan has measurements of both objects which show that I1511 is a star, while this is a galaxy with a star superposed about 15 arcsec southwest of the nucleus (Bigourdan actually measured this star rather than the galaxy itself). Lord Rosse's diagram is useful in sorting out the identities of the other galaxies in the field, NGC 7765, N7766, and N7768.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7767 24" (8/5/13): faint, fairly small, edge-on 4:1 NW-SE, 30"x8". A mag 12.6 star is just 21" SW of center. Located on the south side of the core of AGC 2666 with NGC 7766 2.4' N and NGC 7768 (brightest member) 3.7' N. 18" (8/26/06): fairly faint, small, elongated 3:1 NW-SE, 0.6'x0.2', very small brighter core. A mag 12.5 star is just SW of the core. Second brightest member of AGC 2666 and furthest south in a N-S chain of four NGC galaxies. 17.5" (7/20/90): very faint, very small, even surface brightness. A mag 12 star is just off the west edge 20" from the center. This is the second brightest galaxy in AGC 2666 with NGC 7768 3.6' N and NGC 7766 2.5' N.
