Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4401
17.5" (5/15/99): this number refers to the brightest HII region in NGC 4395, located ~2' SE of the ill-defined core. Fairly easy at 220x (the galaxy loses its identity at this power!), appearing as an irregular 25" knot. Off the south side is a second fainter knot (NGC 4400).
17.5": brightest of three knots in the galaxy NGC 4395 along with NGC 4399 and NGC 4400. Appears fairly faint and fairly small. Forms a close pair with knot NGC 4400 just SSW.
