Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4106
18" (5/28/06): eastern member of a close, striking pair with slightly brighter NGC 4106 just 1.1' west. Appears moderately bright, round, ~40" diameter, well concentrated with a bright, prominent core. The halo is fairly faint and increases in size with averted vision to ~55" diameter. This galaxy is slightly smaller with a less condensed core than NGC 4106.
8" (5/21/82): faint, small, round. This is a close companion to NGC 4105 and is the slightly fainter and smaller of the pair.
