Description:
A faint, uniform, round halo which shows slight, gradual, diffuse brightening
toward the core.  Visible with averted vision at 128x, it was best seen at
257x.  Of several additional galaxies plotted inside the same 128x (34')
field with NGC910 by Uranometria 2000.0 (2nd edition), none except perhaps
NGC909 could be seen.  During moments of steady seeing at 128x, a very faint
circular glow was seen at NGC909's approx. position.
