Steve's Notes

===== NGC 604 18" (12/10/07): bright, large HII knot in M33 at the end of the spiral arm that trails to the east on the north side of the core. A mag 10.5-11 star is located 1.5' SE and NGC 604 is elongated 3:2 in the direction of this star. The outline is oval, though a bit irregular, particularly on the east side. It appears brighter and mottled on the northwest side and with direct vision a slightly brighter stellaring is embedded near the northwest end. 13.1" (7/5/86): bright HII region located 12' NE of the core of M33. Situated at the end of the large spiral arm of M33 that extends north and then east of the core. Bright, fairly small, ~30" diameter, round. 8": fairly bright, round, knot in M33.
