Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 3634

24" (3/9/13): faint, extremely small, round, 8"-10" diameter.  Situated at the west edge of brighter NGC 3635, appearing as a small knot.  The surface brightness is relatively high (similar to the nucleus of NGC 3635), so this galaxy was fairly easy to see at 375x.  A mag 13.5 star is ~30" W.
