From the
NGC / IC Project: Contemporary Visual Observation(s) for NGC 7419 NGC 7419 = Cr 453 = Lund 1024 = OCL-250 22 54 20.1 +60 48 55 Size 2 18" (8/17/04): at 160x this is a small group of 25-30 stars down to mag 15, elongated 3'x1' NW-SE. Located ~3' SE of a mag 8 star. The brightest mag 9.5 star is at the NE tip of the cluster and the fairly rich cluster follows to the SE. A faint pair is near the center of the group 13.1" (8/25/84): about a dozen faint stars are visible over unresolved haze with a mag 9.5 star at the NW edge. Appears to be a rich group. Mag 8.2 SAO 20306 is just off the NW edge. About 12' NW is the double star ?2953 = 7.8/9.8 at 8". - by Steve Gottlieb |
