Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 3507

17.5" (4/1/95): unusual appearance as a bright mag 10.5 star is superimposed very close to the center!  Fairly faint, moderately large, 2.5' diameter, irregularly round.  The core is difficult to view but is located just 30" SW of the superimposed star and the galaxy is slightly offset to the west side of the star.  NGC 3501 lies 12.7' SW.
