Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2188
24" (1/25/14): at 200x-260x appeared fairly bright, large, very elongated 5:1 N-S, 4.0'x0.8', broad concentration with a large, slightly brighter elongated core. Mag 8.5 HD 42519 lies 8' SW. ESO 364-039 lies 16' NE and ESO 364-035/036, in the core of AGC 3391, lie 28' N. This edge-on Magellanic dwarf irregular has several giant HII regions on the south side and appears to be disrupted, although there is no nearby interacting companion.
13.1" (2/23/85): faint, moderately large, edge-on streak 6:1 NNW-SSE. A mag 13.5 star is at the NNW end. Located 7.8' NE of mag 8.6 SAO 196541.
