Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2625 18" (1/13/07): faint, very small, round, 15" diameter. Smaller and fainter of a pair with NGC 2624 3.2' WNW, though the difference in brightness appears less than the 1.4 magnitudes listed in catalogues. At the west edge of the Beehive cluster. CGCG 89-56 lies 7.3' S. 17.5" (12/19/87): faint, extremely small, round. Appears similar to NGC 2624 3.3' WNW but slightly smaller and fainter. Located at the west edge of M44 = Beehive cluster.
