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.
