Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4444

14" (4/2/16 - Coonabarabran, 160x): fairly faint, moderately large, round, ~1.4' diameter, weak concentration with a very small brighter nucleus.  A mag 13.2 star is just off the NE edge [1.0' from center].  NGC 4444 forms the northeast vertex of a triangle with a mag 8 star 4.8' ENE and a mag 10 star 4.6' S.  In addition two mag 9.6 stars are 7' SW and 8' SSW!
