Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 4482 = IC 3427. WH's RA's for many of the objects in Sweep 174 on 15 March 1784 are too large by up to a minute of time. In this case, the error is only 30 seconds. See IC 3427 for more.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 4482 17.5" (4/21/90): faint, fairly small, oval 3:2 NW-SE, almost even surface brightness.
