Steve's Notes

===== NGC 3582 18" (7/7/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): NGC 3582 is another fan-shaped section which wraps around a mag 10.6 star. It has a well-defined edge running SW to NE with the northern border running E-W. The brighter star is embedded roughly in the center and several mag 13 stars are near the border. The diameter is ~2' (similar in size to NGC 3581 just SW).
