Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3433
24" (2/22/14): moderately bright, large, irregularly round, 2.5'x2.0', fairly low surface brightness, weak even concentration to small, slightly bright core and a faint stellar nucleus. Appears to be a face-on spiral, though too faint to resolve the arms. A mag 9.6 star is 8.5' E and 6' further NE of this star is NGC 3444.
17.5" (2/28/87): moderately bright, moderately large, diffuse, weak concentration, slightly elongated. NGC 3438 lies 25' NNE.
