D 255 = Ic 5250
I have been using wikisky.org to make images of the 425 Dunlop objects outside the LMC and SMC.
Dunlop 255 was interesting. The attched 56' x 56' image is centered on Dunlop's exact position.
Dunlop described D255 = IC5250 as "A small faint elliptical nebula in the parallel of the equator, about 25" long, and 12" or 15" broad."
The long thin galaxy above D255 is IC5249 and NGC7358 is to the right of D255.
John Herschel missed the five IC galaxies in this image.
