x185 27' TF

IC 1390 Galaxy *
RA: 21h 32m 24.7s Dec: -01° 51' 43"
Mag: 15.1 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 0.7'x0.6' Class: B R
P.A.: 128 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

This is a quite small to very small and very faint eg found 7' to the N of a 10th mag * and a zig-zag of fainter stars between the star and the eg. Fairly small, faint, diffuse patch of gossamer about 40" diameter, very LSB growing broadly and weakly to the centre without nucleus.

IC 1391 Galaxy *
RA: 21h 35m 00.4s Dec: -00° 30' 41"
Mag: 15.7 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 0.6'x0.4' Class: E
P.A.: 84 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

This eg is found not far from the outliers of M2, 1/2 degree to the SW. This is a very to extremely faint eg that is almost stellar in size. At threshold. 15" diameter at best, a spot of ephemeral gossamer occasionally visible to the N of a 12th mag * by a couple of arc-mins and has a 15th mag * between the 12th mag and the eg.

Mag: 13.8 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 1.4'x0.9' Class: E
P.A.: 45 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

This one is not to hard to see almost due S of a small compressed knot of 4 *s mags 11.5 - 13 by 6'. A small, round spot of haze, probably 40" diameter mod LSB but not too bad brightening broadly and mod to the centre without zones or nucleus.

P.A.: 14 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3 *

This is a very small slightly elong eg found about 2' W of a 12th mag *. Its got a fat oval outline, 40" x 30" in PA 0 brightening broadly and slightly to the centre witout zones or nucleus. lowish SB.

This one wasn't too hard to pick-up in the field. A small elong eg in PA 0 with LSB as a small oval, 40" x 20" in PA 0 growing broadly and slightly to the centre but no zones, core or nucleus. Gossamery and LSB.

05 is a very small and faint eg adjacent to a close mag 13/14 ** that points almost straight at it. Only about 20" diameter, round grows evenly and slightly to the centre where there is a hint of a very faint stellaring. SE by 3.5' is -06. Similar in size but slightly lower SB brightens broadly and slightly to centre without nucleus.

This is a very small round elliptical eg has a 15th mag star just outside the halo to the NE. Very small, 30" diameter with a dilute outer halo growing evenly, slightly at first and at centre is a tiny stellaring. Almost looks like a 15th - 16th mag star with a bit of fuzz around it.

P.A.: 125 Inclination: --- R.V.: +2632 Source: RC3 *

IC 1417 This eg is in the same field as the brighter NGC 7171. -71 is about 10' to the SE. -17 is a very tiny edge on eg with a 15th mag * just off the SE tip of the halo. Small lens shaped 40" x 10" in PA 120, brightening slightly and evenly to the axis nr centre but no detectable nucleus.

-7171is a somewhat larger & brighter object in PA 120, 2.25' x 1' oval of LSB haze brightening broadly and slightly to centre with a weakly brighter small round core zone 30", there is a very faint * at the SE tip of low 15th or 16th magnitude.

This is a very, very tiny, perhaps only 20" diameter eg that has a 15.5 mag * as a companion to the SE near the edge of the halo. Very faint, a spot of gossamer with no real central brightening.

Mag: 14.3 (P) S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 1.4'x0.9' Class: S0 pec
P.A.: 5 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3 *

This eg appears adjacent to the faintest and northernmost star in a small RA tri made of 11th, 12th and 13th mag *s. Pretty LSB, round and fairly small 40-50" diameter but with a 10-15" diameter slightly brighter core zone but no real nucleus.

-215 is a quite small, pretty non-descript, faint eg with no *s immediately associated. There is an 11th mag * to the SE by 6'. 30 x 10" in PA 90 with a slight central brightening. To the SW by about 15' is MCG +0-56-9 which is a just a tiny, 20" diameter spot of LSB round haze.

Mag: 15.8 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 0.4'x0.4' Class: S
P.A.: --- Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

This is also a very tiny eg which is kinda pointed at by a small Tri of 12th and 13th mag *s that point SSW. At best 20" diameter with a weak central brightening and seems to be adjacent to a mag 15.5 * which is just outside the halo to the W and there seems to be a small line of 3 or 4very faint stars to the WSW a couple of arc-mins away.

NB the star on the edge of the halo to the W seems to be a connected compact eg -- see Sky-Map.org pic -- very interesting looking eg!

Mag: 13.9 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 1.0'x0.6' Class: SA(rsb
P.A.: 8 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

This eg has no noteworthy stars nearby and there is a mag 8 * on the SE field stop about 12' away. Reasonable SB, small and slightly elong in PA 0, growing broadly and mod to centre 1' x 40" without zones and occasionally there is a whiff of a stellaring in the centre.

Mag: --- S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 0.5'x0.3' Class: E/S0
P.A.: 74 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

This is an extremely faint and tiny eg that is next to a mag 15.5 * which by comparison looks "bright". A "spot", -- only about 10-15" diameter with a slight central brightening. Almost looks stellar.

NGC 7230 Galaxy *
RA: 22h 14m 13.0s Dec: -17° 04' 24"
Mag: 14.5 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 0.9'x0.9' Class: SA(s)bc
P.A.: --- Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

By comparison with some of the others viewed tonight, this one is positively sparkling. Only mod faint, about 50" diameter, round quite good SB growing broadly and mod to the centre without zones without nucleus. It lies on the hypotenuse of an almost RA tri with = br mag 13 *s 5, 7 & 8 arc-mins a side.
