NGC 190 mag 14.9
————————————————
NGC 190 group is a interesting tight compact group also listed in Hickson’s Catalog of compact groups (HCG5). It was found by Lewis Swift on October 22 1886 with his 16 “ Clark refactor. His notes say “Very Faint,Small and a little extended”. I do not think that Swift was able to bust up the group with his wide field sweeping eyepiece.

HCG A 14.9 MAG
HCG B 15.7 MAG
HCG C 16.5 MAG
HCG D 17.3 MAG
From my brief notes they say “All seen with HCG C being the most difficult. I often find that the most dim listed MAG is not always the most difficult to see in a galaxy group.
