Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4735

17.5" (5/14/94): faint, small, elongated 2:1 E-W, 0.6'x0.3', very little central brightening.  The major axis is collinear with a mag 13.5 star 2.2' W of center which has a mag 15 companion.  On line with mag 8.5 SAO 82534 5.8' SE and mag 9 SAO 82535 9.8' SE which detract from viewing.  NGC 4738 in field 8.6' SSE.
