NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 1330 is a group of six or seven stars -- probably with several more fainter involved -- exactly located by Stephan's micrometric position. Efforts to identify it with galaxies in the area are futile. The URAT1 proper motions for the brighter stars are small. However, given the statistical errors, there is a possibility that at least some of these stars might form a physical group. In the position table, I've given the proper motions in milliarcseconds/year from URAT1, and the UBVR photometry converted from SDSS (three SDSS i values are clearly wrong, so the (V-R)'s for those stars is estimated).

===== NGC 1330 24" (2/14/15): at 225x appears as small, fuzzy patch with 1 star often resolving [probably the mag 15 star at the northwest end. At 375x, a second mag 15.5 star just 15" E was cleanly resolved. At 450x, a third mag 16 star was resolved.
