NGC 3052 is the brightest of of this group by a margin. Mod bright, slightly oval in PA 90 about 1.25' x 1' with a broad slight concentration to centre and a possible weakly brighter spot at centre

-45 is W by 15' from -52 and no worse than mod faint, easy to see, Elong oval shape in PA 30 and probably 1.25' x 30" growing broadly and slightly to centre without zones core or nucleus. Reasonable SB not hard to see. NNW by 25' is ESO 556-19.

ESO 556-19 a much lower SB patch probably close to 1' diameter, round growing hardly at all to centre with no core/nucleus.

This is a small elong eg, pointed oval maybe 50" x 30" in P30 growing broadly and slightly to the axis near centre without zones, core or nucleus. There is a mag 13.5 * just off the flank to the NW.

This is a very faint, LSB but excellent edge on eg spiral in PA 30. Seems to be about 1.5' x 10" of almost consistent SB -- only weakly brighter in the centre. Unlike the DSS image the tips don't seem to be sharp but has a mag 12.5 - 13 * is barely off the halo SE below the centre. No core or nucleus visible.

This took a bit of time to pick up in a pretty blank field, no *s near the eg. Very diffuse, very LSB slightly oval blob maybe 1.25' x 1' in PA 150, growing broadly and slightly to the centre without zones or nucleus.

These two took a bit of picking up and are side-by-side tiny spots of haze only 20" apart E-W of each other. They are virtually identical in appearance, about 20" diameter, very faint and with slight brightening to the centre but no other structure visible

This is a fairly small but pretty obvious eg that is no worse than mod faint found to the NE of a mag 8.5 * that seems yellowish by about 4'. Seems about 1.25-1.5' diameter growing broadly and slightly to centre where there is a slightly brighter, not well defined central zone at centre about 1/2 the size of the eg but no real nucleus.

4418 is a pretty obvious small eg in about PA 60 at the end of a string of faint *s heading in its direction from the SW with the br * nearest the eg. Probably elong roughly oval in about PA 60, maybe 1' x 20" with a small round 15" diameter slightly brighter core but no real nucleus. There is a mag 15 * just off the SW end. MCG +0-32-13 is 2' SE.

MCG +0-32-13 is nothing more than an almost stellar spot of gossamer maybe 10" diameter of extremely LSB only visible intermittently at x247.

This is a mod to somewhat faint small eg nestled next to a mag 14 * imm to its N. Quite small, round about 30" diameter, grows evenly and slightly to centre but near centre moderately, with no core or nucleus visible apart from an occasional whiff of a sub-stellar spot in the centre. Quite a few faint *s in the field.

Class: S0^: sp P.A.: 120 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3 *

This eg is very nearly *ar at first glance but is instead elong and tipped in PA 120. Very tiny, good SB in the order of 20" x 5" dominated by a mag 15 *ar nucleus and rises strongly to the axis nr centre.

This is no worse than mod fain, good SB small eg probably 50" x 30" in PA 0 brightening broadly and slightly to centre where there is a small weakly brighter zone elong with a 13th mag * 2' to the NE which is part of small bunch of mag 13-15*s and there is a mag 15.5 * at the S tip of the eg.

These three very small very faint and elong spirals all fit in the one ep field and form a tri. The brightest is -28 and it is found to the E of a 14th mag * by 1'. In PA 150 it has the largest halo, a little fatter and longer than the others 1.25' x 15" growing broadly and slightly to centre but no real core or nucleus.

5' E is -27 that is between 11th and 12 mag *s aligned NW-SE. It is in PA 45 and has slightly lower SB, slightly shorter and thinner, 1' x 10" with no core or nucleus visible. Grows weakly to centre and overall has very low SB.

MCG -3-26-21 is 6' NNW of -27 and forms an I tri with the other two. In the same PA as -27, and very similar looking, a fraction fainter maybe 50" x 5" and grows weakly to the axis nr centre, but a beautiful trio.

This is an extremely small, tiny almost *ar scrap of gossamer about 15" diameter with no structure visible. Very, very faint and of very, very LSB.

How did this (-038) come to be assessed at mag 14.9? Extremely ! faint and tiny scrap of mist, maybe <10" diameter at best visible 30-40% of the time. Featureless.7' SW of a mag 7 *.

10' SE of the same * is MCG -2-26-37 which is an almost identical scrap of gossamer only intermittently visible. -39 is the same distance from that * NE and is slightly brighter and larger, 20" diameter but still very, very faint and a little brighter at centre.
