Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7782
18" (9/15/07): largest and brightest in a group of 5 NGC galaxies viewed at 260x. Moderately bright, moderately large, oval 5:3 N-S, 1.0'x0.6'. Broadly concentrated with a relatively large, brighter core that is slightly offset to the north side as the halo is more extended towards the south.
17.5" (11/1/86): moderately bright, moderately large, elongated 2:1 N-S, halo broadly concentrated to core, substellar nucleus. Brightest in a group of five galaxies with NGC 7781 7' SSW and the NGC 7778/NGC 7779 pair about 10' SW.
13" (9/29/84): Largest and brightest in a group of five with NGC 7778, NGC 7779, NGC 7780, NGC 7781. Appears moderately bright, moderately large, fairly even surface brightness.
13" (9/9/83): fairly faint, diffuse but easy, elongated N-S.
