See comments for NGC 814. RNGC and PGC (as well as Megastar, etc.) misidentify MCG -03-06-004 = PGC 7798 as NGC 815. NGC 815 appears to be a very close and small double system (virtually stellar).

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/25/97): not seen initially at 220x. After extended viewing, just glimpsed for moments on a few occasions at 2.4' S of NGC 814. Appeared virtually stellar, ~5"-10", no details due to faintness.
