Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7777 24" (10/13/12): moderately bright, moderately large, elongated 4:3 SW-NE, ~48"x35", sharply concentrated with a very bright 20" core surrounded by a low surface brightness halo. Picked up while viewing Comet 168P/Hergenrother, which was in the same 30' field. 17.5" (8/29/92): fairly faint, small, elongated 3:2 SSW-NNE, small bright core, stellar nucleus. NGC 7775 is 30' NNW.
