Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2923

17.5" (4/6/02): extremely faint, very small, round, 20" diameter.  Required averted to glimpse intermittently once exact position identified.  Surprisingly faint and small for a mag 15.2z galaxy.  Located at the western edge of a faint group of galaxies (brightest member NGC 2943).
