Description:
Beautiful pair of edge-on galaxies! 7332 shows a bright almost stellar core in 
an eliptical center (0,5x0,2'). The halo is elongated roughly N-S and extends 
approx 2,5x0,7'. A prominent 10mag star is located just 2' S of NGC 7332. In 
contrast to 7332 its neighbor NGC 7339 is not much smaller but rather faint in appearance. It is slightly thinner than 7332 but about the same length. I did 
not see any sign of a nucleus and the galaxy's core is very faint and 
elongated. The full length of the halo can only be glimpsed with averted 
vision. NGC 7339 is elongated E-W and located just 5' W of its bright companion 
7332. Observations with 131x and 342x magnification.
