Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4519
24" (6/4/16): at 322x; bright, large, slightly elongated 5:4 SW-NE, at least 1.5'x1.2'. Contains a relatively large brighter core. The halo is noticeably mottled with an uneven surface brightness (probably due to HII knots in the arms).
Forms a pair with NGC 4519A 2.6' NW. This companion appeared very faint (V ~15.4), small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, low even surface brightness. A mag 14.3 star is 35" SW.
17.5" (4/18/87): fairly bright, moderately large, brighter core, slightly elongated. A knot is superimposed on the SW end.
