Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2619
24" (2/16/15): moderately bright and large, oval ~3:2 SW-NE. Sharply concentrated with a bright, elongated oval core 0.5'x0.3', embedded in a low surface brightness halo ~1.2'x0.7'.
PGC 24340, the brightest cD galaxy in AGC 690, lies 24' NE. At 225x it appeared very faint, very small, round, 10" diameter, low even surface brightness. Once identified, I could just hold it continuously with averted and concentration. With a redshift of z = .079, this galaxy has a light-travel time of 1.05 billion years!
13.1" (1/18/85): faint version of NGC 2608, slightly elongated SW-NE, weak concentration, fairly even surface brightness.
