Description:
120X-NGC7513, Traveling N-W from NGC7507 you will see NGC7513 with direct
vision, only slightly dimmer, but still easy. It has a bar oriented nearly
E-W with an arm wrapping north and westward from the easter end of the bar.
The western end seems expanded into a weak blob. There is an 8.1 mag. star
to the E-S-E from the galaxy and a 11.1 mag. star close-by.
220X-NGC7513; The appearance is much the same as with 120X. The bar shows a
central bulge better than at 120X. The overall impression I get is there is
only one arm wrapping around about 270*.
