Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4754

17.5" (4/13/91): bright, fairly small, slightly elongated halo SSW-NNE, 3' diameter.  Sharply concentrated with a very bright small round core containing a substellar nucleus.  Located in the center of a group of six faint mag 14 stars.  A brighter mag 11 star lies 3.1' SW of center.  Forms a pretty pair with NGC 4762 11' SE.
