Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2521

17.5" (1/19/91): fairly faint, very small, round, bright core, faint stellar nucleus.  Located 3.6' SSE of a mag 9 star (Z Lyncis).  This is the brightest of four in a group including UGC 4241 4.5' E.  The three brighter galaxies and Z Lyncis form a perfect parallelogram.  UGC 4241 appeared fairly large, small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, weak concentration.
