Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3628
17.5" (1/31/87): bright, unusually large edge-on WNW-ESE, 11'x2.5'. A broad irregular dust lane is prominent bisecting the galaxy along the entire length. Appears brighter to the north of the dark lane and fainter on the south side.
13.1" (4/24/82): the dust lane is clearly visible along the entire length and divides the galaxy into two asymmetric halves with the south slice much fainter.
