Description: Four galaxies in one field. The first to be seen
was NGC 717 (13.8m (v), 1,3'x0.2', So/a, Br4): Almost round,
very small (20'') with high surface brightness. Almost stellar
nucleus.

NGC 714 (13.1m (v), 1.6'x0.4', S0/a, Br4) is an almost edge-on
lenticular/spiral. Was at first thought to be a star. Very
elliptical (3-4:1)=about 0.9'x0.2' with a stellar 14.5m nucleus.

CGCG522-44 (15.7m, Br5+) is 8' NW of ngc 714. It was barely
visible as a diam. 20'' haze. 

MCG+6-5-40 (15.3m (p), E?, Br5) is 9' N of ngc 714. Slightly
brighter and larger than the CGCG-galaxy. Quite concentrated.
