Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2235 24" (4/11/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): moderately bright, elongated 3:2 SW-NE, 0.9'x0.6', broad concentration with a slightly elongated 25" core. A mag 10.8 star is right at the northeast edge of the halo. This is the brightest of 7 galaxies, including NGCs 2229, 2230 and 2233, viewed in the core of ACO S585 = AGC 3389 and the furthest northeast. PGC 75662: at 260x; very faint, elongated 2:1 SSW-NNE, 0.4'x0.2'. Picked up 1.1' NW of a mag 10.5 star and 3.8' SW of NGC 2230. PGC 75671: very faint edge-on streak 3:1 SSW-NNE, 0.4'x0.15'. A mag 15-16 star is very close following. Picked up just 2.3' N of NGC 2229 on a line with NGC 2230 4.5' S. PGC 75689: very faint, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 0.4'x0.2'. Picked up 3.4' E of NGC 2229 and 4' SW of NGC 2235.
