Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3136
24" (4/4/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 260x appeared bright, moderately large, eloongated 3:2 SW-NE. Sharp concentration with a small, intense core that brightens to the center. The fainter extensions from the core appear irregular. IC 2554 and IC 2554B, a striking interacting pair of galaxies, lies 28' NE.
18" (7/8/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 171x this Carina galaxy appeared moderately bright and large, elongated 3:2 SW-NE, 1.5'x0.75'. Sharply concentrated with a small, bright, roundish core increasing to an occasional stellar nucleus. A mag 13 star is close north.
