Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 635 is probably MCG -04-05-002 just 3 degrees south of Leavenworth's nominal position. His sketch matches the galaxy and surrounding star field very well, so I'm willing to accept that he made a simple mistake in recording the declination.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 635 17.5" (12/9/01): very faint, small, round, 20" diameter, weak concentration. Forms the SW vertex of a triangle with a mag 10 star (SAO 167193) 2.9' ENE and a mag 12.5 star 1.6' NNE.
