Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3181
48" (4/4/11): NGC 3181 is a bright, 15" knot in one of the spiral arms of NGC 3184. It resides 1.2' SW of the nucleus in a long sweeping arm that wraps around around south side of the core and then heads north on the west side of the galaxy. This is the brightest of a couple of knots resolved in the arms.
