Bright! round even halo with no detail, very distinct and bright core, M32 just a hint of glow at the northwest edge of the field.

The companion of the great nebula. Extremely bright; pretty large; there is a brighter middle to a star of 10 mag; 40"" diameter; a small star follows it 11.5 sec
Charles Messier
3 Jan 1764
Small nebula without stars, below & at some minutes from that of the belt of Andromeda [M31]; this small nebula is round, its light fainter than that of the belt. M. le Gentil has discovered it on October 29, 1749. M. Messier saw it, for the first time, in 1757, & he has not found any change.

Is in the same low powered field [as NGC224]: small, but bright. E. of Rosse resolved, so Buffham 9-in.; spec. like M31.
