Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4452

17.5" (4/18/87): moderately bright, fairly small, thin pretty edge-on SW-NE, brighter core.  Located 8' SE of mag 7.7 SAO 100114.  IC 3381, situated 7.1' WNW, appeared faint, small, slightly elongated, weak concentration.  The IC is located 2.2' S of a mag 7.7 SAO 10014 that detracts from viewing.
