[LVAS] NGC-1 and NGC-16

[Rob Lambert]

Roger,

I was reading about the Pegasus Cluster that I'm interested in attempting
this weekend.  I can't remember if these two galaxies are in that cluster,
but I will attempt them also.

I'm looking forward to a great observing weekend.  Will send you a report
after the weekend.

Rob
