Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3113
17.5" (4/15/99): this galaxy was surprisingly difficult due to clouds low in the south obscuring the view. Appeared extremely faint, small, round, required averted vision. Viewed only the core of this galaxy as appeared no more than 40" in size [described as 3' diameter by John Herschel]. Forms an obtuse angle with mag 7.5 SAO 178366 4.5' NNW and mag 8 SAO 178361 7.5' SW.
