=====
NGC 7771
24" (10/5/13): bright, fairly large, very elongated 3:1 WSW-ENE, 2.0'x0.7', moderate concentration with a large, elongated core that gradually increases to the center. Largest in the KTG 82 triplet with NGC 7770 1.1' SSW and NGC 7769 5.4' NW.
17.5" (8/31/86): fairly bright, pretty lens-shape 2:1 WSW-ENE, 1.4'x 0.7', bright core, possible faint stellar nucleus. A mag 12.5 star lies 2.1 ENE of center. Forms a close pair with NGC 7770 1.1' SW of center. NGC 7769 lies 5' WNW.
13" (9/9/83): fairly bright, very elongated WSW-ENE. In a trio with faint NGC 7770 just 1' SW and similarly bright NGC 7769 5' NW.
