Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4507
18" (4/25/09): moderately bright, fairly small, slightly elongated, increases to a small brighter core. Situated within an oval group of ~8 stars (~9'x6') and 5' SW of mag 5.8 HD 109573 (on the east end of the group).
17.5" (4/7/89): fairly faint, oval, weak concentration. Located 5.2' SW of mag 5.8 SAO 203621 and the glare detracts from viewing. This is a Seyfert galaxy and possible member of the Centaurus galaxy cluster (AGC 3526).
