400/500mm - 17.5" (12/26/00): the southeast member of an unusual interacting pair (tidal tails on DSS image) of similar galaxies with IC 412 just 35" NW and both galaxies straddle a mag 12 star! IC 413 appears similar to IC 412 - ~25"x15", slightly elongated NW-SE with a small brighter core. The northwest tip of the galaxy is virtually in contact with the mag 12 star.

600/800mm - 24" (1/12/13): this is the southeast component of the close interacting pair VV 225. At 375x it appeared fairly faint, small, slightly elongated, ~22"x17", sharply concentrated with a very small, high surface brightness nucleus. A mag 12.3 star is just 25" N of center and a mag 16.2 star is 46" SSW. IC 412 is just 35" NW and roughly similar in appearance. IC 414 lies 8.5' S.

900/1200mm - 48" (10/27/19): at 375x; moderately bright, fairly small, very slightly elongated, 24"x20", sharply concentrated with a very small bright nucleus. A mag 12.3 star is only 0.4' N of center. Forms an interacting pair with IC 412 just 0.6' NW.
