Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 81.  Even though Bigourdan mistook the star northwest of the galaxy as
NGC 81, Copeland's offsets from NGC 83 are very good and point unambiguously 
at the galaxy as the correct object.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 81

18" (11/22/08): this companion to NGC 80 appeared extremely faint and small, round, just 6"-10" diameter.  A mag 15 star lies 0.7' NNW.  Located 1.7' NNE of NGC 80.

17.5" (9/19/87): extremely faint and small, slightly elongated.  Two mag 15 stars are close NW, the nearer star is 40" NW.  Located just 1.6' NNE of NGC 80 in a group.
