Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2577
17.5" (1/1/92): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 2:1 ~E-W, ~0.8'x0.4', dominated by a prominent core, faint stellar nucleus. Forms a pair with UGC 4375 9' NE. I recorded UGC 4375 as "fairly faint, moderately large, elongated 3:2 N-S, brighter core, faint halo. The appearance is unusual as a mag 12 star is embedded in the east side. Also three mag 14-15 stars are nearby with one at the south edge."
