Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 3945

17.5" (4/13/91): bright, fairly small, slightly elongated, 2.0'x1.5'.  The small, very bright core has sharp edges and appears mottled with bright spots.  The slightly elongated halo is much fainter.  Three stars are near; a mag 12 star is 1.3' SW and two mag 13.5 star lie 1.7' NW and 1.3' S.
