Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2585 24" (2/16/15): fairly faint, fairly small, irregularly round, 0.7'x0.6', weak broad concentration with no distinct zones but surface appears mottled. In a group with NGC 2585 4.3' SW and NGC 2583 7.0' SW (on a line) as well as MCG -01-22-012 (identified as NGC 2586 in RNGC and PGC) 16' ENE. In addition, a close pair, MCG -01-22-006 and -007, lies 5.3' and 6.4' WSW and has a similar redshift. MCG -01-006 is faint to fairly faint, small, elongated 2:1 SSW-NE, 20"x10". MCG -01-01-007 is extremely to very faint, very small, slightly elongated NW-SE, 12"x9", low even surface brightness. 17.5" (1/12/02): faint, fairly small, irregularly round, weak concentration, 0.9' diameter. Third of three on a SW-NE line with NGC 2584 and NGC 2583 to the SW. This is a challenging trio and I missed two nearby MCG galaxies. 17.5" (4/6/91): faint, small, round, very weak concentration. Third of three on a line with NGC 2584 5' SW and NGC 2583 7' SW. Viewed core only (the arms are very low surface brightness on the DSS).
