Steve's Notes

===== NGC 4105 18" (5/28/06): western member of a close, moderately bright pair with NGC 4106, just 1.1' between centers. Appears round, ~45" diameter, sharply concentrated with a bright, prominent core. The halo is fairly faint and increases in size with averted vision to ~1' diameter. This galaxy is slightly larger and the brighter of the duo. Nearby galaxies include IC 2996 lies 17' SW, IC 3005 17' SE and IC 3010 38' SE. 8" (5/21/82): elongated glow resolves into NGC 4105 and NGC 4106 just following. NGC 4105 is slightly brighter and larger but appears faint, small and round.
