Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4212

17.5" (4/25/98): fairly bright, fairly large, 2.2'x1.4' oriented WSW-ENE.  Moderate concentration to a large bright core which appears mottled.  The nucleus is not well defined although the core is broadly concentrated and at times a stellar center was glimpsed.  A mag 11.5 star is 2.3' S. IC 3061 lies 11' NW.  Poor transparency due to smoke.
