Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1249
24" (4/9/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): fairly bright, large, very elongated nearly 3:1 E-W, ~4'x1.4', broad concentration with a bulging middle. Brighter along the major axis suggesting it's a bar. The observation was cut short by clouds, so it's possible the observation was somewhat compromised.
