Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2689 18" (4/26/08): this is the faintest of 6 galaxies viewed in the compact NGC 2684 group. It was a marginal observation (barely glimpsed several times) with averted vision 2.7' NE of a mag 10.7 star. It was necessary to keep this distracting star out of the field. Slightly easier NGC 2688 lies 2.3' WNW 17.5" (3/8/97): not found.
