Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3905.  Is this also possibly IC 2962 (which see)?  I doubt it.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 3905

17.5" (5/2/92): very faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, low even surface brightness.  Forms the vertex of a right triangle with a mag 12 star 3' N and a mag 13 star 2' E.  The halo fades into the background so it is difficult to determine the elongation.
