Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7769
24" (10/5/13): at 260x; bright, fairly large, round, 1.6' diameter, sharply concentrated with a very bright core and stellar nucleus. The low surface brightness outer halo (spiral arms) is slightly elongated and gradually fades out. Brightest in a trio (KTG 82) with NGC 7770 and 7771 (1' pair) both 4.5' SE.
17.5" (8/31/86): bright, moderately large, round, 1.5' diameter, brighter core, sharp stellar nucleus. A mag 13 star is 2.1' SSW. This galaxy is the brightest in a compact quartet with the NGC 7770/NGC 7771 pair 5' ESE and CGCG 455-055 6' NNE.
13" (9/9/83): fairly bright, moderately large, round, bright core.
