=====
NGC 3602
18" (5/15/10): extremely faint, very small, required averted vision to initially pick up at 175x although visible ~75% of the time at 260x. Appears roughly as a tiny, thin streak, ~15"x5", although sometimes the extensions were not seen, only a 5" core. . Located 3.4' NE of a mag 10 star.
17.5" (4/9/99): not found.
