Steve's Notes

===== NGC 3506 17.5" (4/22/95): fairly faint, round, 1.0' diameter. Just a weak central brightening with no distinct core or nucleus. Preceded by a trio of mag 13.5 stars within 4'. 17.5" (3/28/87): fairly faint, fairly small, roundish, slightly brighter core. A triangle of mag 13 stars is just west.
