Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7806
24" (12/1/16): at 375x; moderately bright, fairly small, compact, slightly elongated ~N-S, ~24"x18", small bright core, stellar nucleus. NGC 7806 is the northeastern of a double system with NGC 7805 50" SW. A mag 15.2 star is 50" SE.
MCG +05-01-026, a very low surface brightness arc-shaped edge-on 1' E, was not seen though the seeing was soft. I glimpsed it, though, with certainty on 12/28/16 in Bob Douglas' 28" at 427x. It was visible some of the time as an extremely faint and small glow, though a couple of times it elongated into a small streak.
17.5" (11/14/87): fairly faint, very small, oval 4:3 ~N-S, bright core, stellar nucleus. Forms a close double system with NGC 7805 54" SW of center and about 30" off the edge.
