Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7002
30" (11/5/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): brighter of a pair with NGC 7004 5.8' SE. NGC 7002 appears fairly bright, moderately large, round, 1.2' diameter, well concentrated to a bright core that increases down to a bright stellar nucleus. A mag 15 star lies 0.9' SE. 2MASX J21034127-4902128, an extremely faint companion, is just 45" SW of center. It appeared as a very small glow, ~10" diameter, no details.
