NGC 1792 = ESO 305-006 = MCG -06-12-004 = LGG 127-001 = PGC 16709 05 05 14.0 -37 58 47 V = 10.2; Size 5.2x2.6; SB = 12.9; PA = 137d 13.1" (2/20/04 - Costa Rica): at 105x appears as a bright, large oval ~2:1 NW- SE, 3.2'x1.6'. Broad concentration to a large bright core and then sharply concentrated with a bright, 15" nucleus. The surface brightness is irregular with a mottled texture. A faint star is just preceding the WNW tip. At 166x, the galaxy appears brighter along the major axis with some areas of lower surface brightness giving a hint of spiral structure! A mag 14 star is preceding. Brightest in a group with N1808 40' NE. 17.5": bright, large, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 3'x1.5', pretty diffuse. Two faint mag 14.5 stars are superimposed. Appears brighter along the western side 8": moderately bright, moderately large, slightly elongated. | |||
