Steve's Notes

===== NGC 4564 17.5" (4/25/87): fairly bright, fairly small, elongated SW-NE, sharp concentration; increases suddenly to a small bright core with a stellar nucleus, fainter extensions. The NGC 4567/NGC 4568 pair lies 11'S at the edge of the 220x field. 13.1" (5/14/83): moderately bright, small, edge-on streak, fairly high surface brightness.
