Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4816
18" (5/12/07): faint, small, elongated 4:3 ~E-W, 0.4'x0.3', broad weak concentration. A mag 13.5-14 star is just off the NE end. The brighter of a close pair with CGCG 160-023 1.8' E.
17.5" (5/14/94): fairly faint, small, elongated 4:3 E-W, brighter core, diffuse halo. Confusing appearance at low power as a mag 13.7 star is close off the NE edge 34" from center creating the appearance of elongation. Also forms a close pair with CGCG 160-023 1.8' ENE. The three objects are well resolved at 280x. This member of AGC 1656 is located 14' E of mag 8 SAO 82565.
