Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 3504

17.5" (3/25/95): bright, large, elongated 2:1 NNW-SSE, 2.5'x1.2'.  The halo has a fairly high irregular surface brightness.  Sharp concentration with a very small well-defined core dominating.  The bright core appears offset to the south side with the halo more extensive to the north.  Two mag 14 stars lie 1.7' NNW (45" separation).  First of three with NGC 3512 12' ENE and NGC 3515 24' NE.
