This 11th magnitude, elliptical Herschel 400 galaxy was relatively easy compared to the very dim spiral galaxy NGC 1055 that I observed about an hour earlier. NGC 1052 was small, circular, and had a bright core. These two galaxies were the last of my unlogged Herschel 400 objects in Cetus. Observations were made at 202 and 259x. Among the other celestial objects that I viewed during this observing session with the 17" classical Cassegrain, its 5" f/5 finder scope, a C8, Orion 10x50's, and a 12.5" f/6.5 Newtonian were NGC 1528, M45, Saturn and 5 of its moons, asteroid 4 Vesta, M77, the Alpha Persei Association, M37, M34, Jupiter, M38, M15, M2, M42, and the multiple star Sigma Orionis.
