Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4269
24" (4/28/14): moderately bright, small, round, 12" (core) surounded by a much fainter elongated halo 20"x14" NW-SE. The core has a very high surface brightness and contains a very bright stellar nucleus. Located 1.6' SE of mag 7.7 HD 107238 and 8.4' SE of NGC 4260. Forms a close pair with fainter IC 3155 1.2' SW. IC 3155 appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:3 SW-NE, very weak concentration, 30"x18". Slightly larger than NGC 4269, though a lower surface brightness.
17.5" (3/24/90): fairly faint, very small, very small and bright core, slightly elongated. Located 1.7' SSE of mag 7.7 SAO 119333 which interferes with viewing. Forms a pair with IC 3155 1.2' SW. NGC 4260 lies 10' WNW. Located at the north edge of the NGC 4261 group.
