Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3189 is the southwestern side of NGC 3190, a nearly edgewise galaxy split
by a prominent dark lane.  The galaxy itself is the brightest in a famous
group also including NGC 3185, NGC 3187, and NGC 3193.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 3189

48" (4/1/11): this number refers to the thin strip of NGC 3190 that parallels the prominent dust lane on the outer southwest edge of the galaxy.  This strip has a well-defined southern edge and dims at the southeast end of the galaxy.
