Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7795. This is a sparce group of stars generally to the north and east of the 7th magnitude star (SAO 35922) that JH called "the chief of a vL coarse scattered but poor cluster which fills the field." It doesn't stand out well on POSS1, but may look better at the eyepiece where the background of faint stars would not be seen. JH's position is just over 1 minute of time east of the star, so I suspect a digit error.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7795 17.5" (12/20/95): scattered group of two dozen stars in a 10' diameter mostly north and east of mag 6.5 HD 224404. Most stars are mag 11-13 (with one brighter mag 9.5 star) and only a few faint members. There are two mag 9 stars 4' and 6' S of the mag 6.5 star but these are really detached from the group. The brighter mag 11 stars form a boxy outline and there is circular hole void of stars in the center. This asterism is only noticeable at 100x and 220x because of the mag 6.5 star and the group is somewhat detached in the field.
