Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 4010. Found by JH, this large, almost exactly edge-on late-type galaxy is
rather similar to NGC 55 in having an eccentric bulge. In this case, the
bulge is offset to the northeast from the center of the outer isophotes. I've
chosen the SDSS position for most of the image as representative of the center
of the bulge, even though the galaxy is cut off at the southwestern end by the
edge of a scan. The position is obviously less certain than most.
