Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4295

18" (6/23/09): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, 30"x25", increases gradually to a very small brighter core.

17.5" (4/25/98): very faint, very small, round, 20" diameter, weak concentration.  A mag 13 star lies 3.3' NNE.  Poor transparency due to smoke.
