Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3700.  Though the NGC position is off, Ball's description of the field, 
including his measurement of the offset between this and NGC 3695, makes clear
the nebulae he found.  See NGC 3698 = NGC 3695 for more.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 3700

17.5" (4/18/98): faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 ~N-S, 1.0'x0.7', weak concentration.  Similar to NGC 3695 5.7' NW and third in trio with NGC 3694. The orientation given matches the main bar - a fainter outer ring oriented NW-SE was not seen.
