Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2788
24" (4/11/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): excellent fairly bright edge-on, fairly large, elongated 4:1 WNW-ESE, 1.4'x0.35', very weak cocnentration. A faint star is just off the south side, 19" from the center. I had the impression there was a sharper light cut-off on the south side, but was not convinced.
