Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3620
24" (4/5/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): fairly faint, very elongated 3:1 E-W, 1.2'x0.4', weak concentration. A mag 14.5 star is pinned against the south side, a little west of the center. I reobserved this galaxy not realizing it was logged last night. Located 32' NE of the bright reflection nebula IC 2631.
24" (4/4/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): fairly faint, moderately large, very elongated 3:1 E-W, 1.5'x0.5', small brighter core. A mag 14 star is barely off the south side (west of center). The large reflection nebula, IC 2631, lies 32' SW.
