Category: External galaxy.
Class: Sb
Constellation: Eri
Data: mag 9.9  size 11.6x3.4
Position: RA 04:12  DEC -32:52
Description:
In Eridani, at 1½° NW of upsilon4 Eri. To help me in this observation, I have noted that NGC 1532 is located at a few minutes E of a magnitude 7 star (HD 26799). Unfortunately, the conditions of this night do not allow good observations below 10° of altitude and the galaxy is at ~7° above the horizon. As expected, nothing appeared at the binoculars.
