Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 4376 is a late-type spiral with considerable patchiness across its face.
There is a trace of a nucleus in the infrared images, though this may just be
another of the knots. Nevertheless, I've chosen it to represent the galaxy;
it's near the geometric center of the isophotes and gives an acceptable
position for the galaxy.
