Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3749
18" (4/25/09): faint, moderately large, elongated. At times only the brighter 30" core was visible but with concentration, long low surface brightness arms extend WNW-ESE and increase the size to ~1.4'x0.5'. The eastern side of the galaxy nearly reaches a line connecting two mag 12/13 stars with a separation of 3'. Located 4.8' SE of NGC 3742 and on images appears to be tidally disrupted.
