Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2472

24" (1/31/14): at 375x appeared faint, small, round, 12"-15" diameter, visible continuously but low surface brightness and no concentration.  This is the last of 6 galaxies in a 25' E-W string with NGC 2469 5.5' WSW.

17.5" (1/19/91): extremely faint, very small, very low even surface brightness.  Fourth of four on a line with NGC 2469 6' W.
