Description:
NGC193; 12.2 mag galaxy; class:S(B)0; 2.0' x 2.0'; PA=55; RA 00:39.3, 
        DEC +03:20.3.

117X - Dificult fuzzy spot.

203X - Faint fuzzy disk with slight brightning toward the center. 2
bright stars nearby.

314X - Barely visable glowing patch. The core is all that is visable
and it's very dim.

NGC202; 14.3 mag galaxy; 1.0' x 0.7'; PA=153; RA00:35.8, DEC +03:33.

117X - Dim slightly elongated fuzzy spot.

203X - Dim elongated smear of light with a small and moderately
brighter core.

314x - Halo is almost invisable, but the core stands out well. 

NGC203; 14.0 mag galaxy; 54" x 30"; PA=85; RA 00:39.7, DEC +03:27.

117X - A very,very faint fuzzy. I almost missed it.

203X - Magnification decreases sky brightness making galaxy appear
brighter, it's still very dim and elongated, but the core is
relatively much brighter and easy to see. The core may have a stellar
like nucleus, but I can't hold it.

762X (4mm Ortho) - Trying to confirm the stellar nucleus, but Nothing is
visable at this power.
