Hickson 30a appears fairly faint, elongated 5:3 NW-SE, 1.0’x0.6’, brighter core. Located 40" NW of a mag 11 star. Hickson 30b appears similar to 30a located 3.6’ NW (just slightly fainter and similar dimensions). Faint, elongated 5:3 SSW-NNE, 0.9’x0.5’. A mag 12 star lies 1.3’ S (nearly collinear with the major axis). An easy mag 13-14 triple staar (sep 15" and 28") lies 2’ following. Hickson 30c was a threshhold object at 220x. No details visible but appeared extremely round, 10" diameter. Hickson 30d was only suspected a couple of times 2’ NE of 30b. - Steve Gottlieb
