600/800mm - 24" (8/5/13): at 375x, appeared fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated SSW-NNE, 24"x18", brightens slightly to the center. Forms a very close pair with fainter KTG 74C, 33" NE of center (resolved separated). A mag 10.5 star is 1.1' S with CGCG 403-2 = KTG 74A 7' SW.

24" (10/18/12): at 375x, appeared fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated SSW-NNE, 0.4'x035', very small brighter nucleus. Brighter of a very close pair with PGC 2801004 just 33" NE of center. Situated 1.1' N of a mag 10.5 star, which detracts a bit from viewing. CGCG 403-002 lies 6.9' SW, with the trio forming KTG 74.
