Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4616

24" (4/12/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this member of the Centaurus Cluster (AGC 3526) appeared moderately bright, fairly small, round, 25" diameter, broad and weak concentration, perhaps an extremely faint halo.  Located just 42" SW of a mag 12 star and 7' NW of NGC 4622.
