Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7778
18" (9/15/07): moderately bright but fairly small, round, 30" diameter, sharply concentrated with a very small bright core and stellar nucleus. This is the 3rd brightest of 5 NGC galaxies in the NGC 7782 group and forms a 1.8' pair with slightly brighter NGC 7779 just 1.8' E.
17.5" (11/1/86): third brightest of five in the NGC 7782 group. Moderately bright, small, slightly elongated, small bright core. Not as large or bright as NGC 7779 1.8' E. A mag 12.5 star is 1.7' NW.
13" (9/29/84): moderately bright, small bright core. Observed at 220x.
13" (9/9/83): faint, small, round, small bright core. Appears just slightly fainter than similar NGC 7779 1.8' E in the NGC 7782 group.
