Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 2603. Is this the faintest NGC galaxy? The SDSS photometry (cModel magnitudes), transformed to BVR, gives B = 16.96, V = 16.19, and R = 15.59. I'll look into other very faint ones, too. See also NGC 2600 for general notes on the field.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2603 24" (3/13/10): at 320x appeared extremely faint and small, round, 6" diameter. Required averted vision to momentarily view, but reaquired several times to confirm. Located 5.0' W of NGC 2602 and 10' WNW of NGC 2606. Faintest of 5 galaxies in a group with brightest member NGC 2606. At B = 16.9, this is one of the faintest, if not the faint NGC galaxy. 18" (3/13/10): not found at 275x.
