This is an excellent observing project next time you're observing M92 -- and looking to get distracted by faint fuzzies!

I only have my NGC/IC observations posted online, but here are my notes on several of the additional galaxies mentioned by Rolandos.

CGCG 225-070 = PGC 59859
17 13 05.5 +43 42 04

18" (7/27/03): this faint galaxy is the first of 8 galaxies picked up in the NGC 6329/6332 group. Appeared extremely faint, very small, elongated 3:2 NNW-SSE, 0.3'x0.2'. Three mag 13 stars lie 3'-4' SE and two mag 11 stars are a similar distance NW and SW. Located 5.4' SSW of NGC 6323.


CGCG 225-081 = PGC 59914
17 14 41.6 +43 55 36
Size 0.5'x0.3'

18" (7/27/03): fifth of 8 in the NGC 6329/6332 group. Extremely faint and small, round. It required averted vision to glimpse a 10" low surface brightness knot intermittently. A brighter mag 14.5 star is just off the north side of the galaxy, 33" from the center.


CGCG 225-084 = MCG +07-35-055 = PGC 59938
17 15 15.2 +43 17 23
V = 14.3; Size 0.8'x0.5'; Surf Br = 13.2; PA = 0d

17.5" (8/18/01): faint, very small, round, 15", fairly high surface brightness. With extended viewing there were very faint extensions N-S, increasing size to 25"x12". Two mag 14.8 stars 1.6' NNE and 2.4' NNE are collinear with the galaxy. CGCG 225-084 is situated just 22' NW of the core of M92. CGCG 225-091 lies 14' ENE.


CGCG 225-087 = PGC 59950
17 15 30.1 +43 45 09
Size 0.8'x0.2'

18" (7/27/03): very faint, extremely small, round, 15" diameter (viewed core only). With direct vision the halo was not seen but a relatively bright stellar nucleus dominates. Located 2.5' ENE of mag 9.3 SAO 46585 and 14' ENE of NGC 6329. This galaxy is the 7th of 8 galaxies in the NGC 6329/6332 group.


CGCG 225-091 = MCG +07-35-058 = PGC 59984
17 16 27.3 +43 20 34
V = 14.6; Size 0.8'x0.3'; Surf Br = 12.9

17.5" (8/18/01): very faint, very small, round, 10" diameter (probably viewed core only). Bracketed by two 15th magnitude stars 1.0' SE and 1.3' WNW. This galaxy is located 14' NW of the core of M92, less than 10' outside the halo of the globular! MCG +07-35-055 lies 14' WSW.
