Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 4393 is identical to neither IC 3323 (a foreground star) nor to IC 3329 (a
knot in the galaxy); CGCG is wrong.  See the IC numbers for a bit more.

NGC 4393

18" (5/30/03): faint, large, diffuse glow, approximately 2.5'x2.0' in diameter, extended N-S, very low surface brightness with just a broad, weak concentration.  A neat string of 6 mag 11-12.5 stars running NNW-SSE passes 6'-7' W.  Located 19' NNW of mag 4.9 14 Comae Berenices.  NGC 4408 lies 19' NNE.
