Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3058s = IC 573 was found by Leavenworth at Leander McCormick.  As usual, 
the position is poor, though it was corrected by Howe.  Leavenworth did note
the object as double or bi-nuclear; it is, of course, double with the southern
galaxy being the brighter.  See IC 573 for more.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 3058

17.5" (4/15/93): faint, fairly small, round, low even surface brightness.  A mag 13 star is 1.0' W.  A wide mag 12/13 pair at 45" separation lies 2' SSW and a mag 12/13.5 pair at 30" separation E-W lies 3.5' W.
