Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7807.  The ESO RA for 1950 has the seconds of time inverted -- instead of 
"23 57 05" read "23 57 50".  This error was propogated into SGC (blush), NGC 
2000.0, and DSFG by cataloguers who assumed ESO was correct (as it usually 
is!).  Otherwise, all is well with this object.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7807

17.5" (8/25/95): extremely faint, very small, probably elongated 3:2 SSW-NNE, 0.6'x0.4'.  Located 6.5' WNW of a mag 11 star.  Needed to use GSC chart and averted vision to pick up.  No details as required concentration just to detect the faint glow but sighting certain.  A mag 15 star lies 2.9' E.
