Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2595

17.5" (1/1/92): fairly faint, moderately large, irregularly round.  Unusual appearance with a very compact bright core displaced towards the NE end.  Also a mag 14 star is superimposed close northeast of the core.  The halo appears more extensive to the southwest.  Located 2.2' NE of double star h448 = 8.9/10.7 at 31".  Outlying member of Cancer I galaxy cluster.
