NGC 3223

18" (4/10/04): fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 5:3 NW-SE, 2.0'x1.2'.  Increases to a moderately bright 30" core.  A mag 11 star is just off the SE end and one or two faint stars are superimposed in the halo.  This was a surprisingly easy galaxy and bright for a low elevation (~15 degrees).  Located about 1.5 degrees NW of the center of Antila cluster within the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster.  NGC 3224 lies 26' S.
