Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4360

17.5" (3/24/90): fairly faint, very small, slightly elongated, small bright core.  Located 1.3' SE of a mag 10 star.  Forms a pair with IC 3274 2' SW.  The companion (identified often as NGC 4360B) appeared very faint, extremely small, round, low surface brightness, just non-stellar.
