Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2739

17.5" (4/5/97): very faint, small, round, 20" diameter.  Forms a close double system with NGC 2740 40" SE.  This galaxy is the smaller of the pair but is slightly more noticeable due to a small brighter core and stellar nucleus with direct vision.  A mag 12 star lies 51" NNE of center.
