Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4841
17.5" (5/14/94): very close double system located 3.1' NNE of mag 9.5 SAO 82582. The SW component (NGC 4841A) is fairly faint, small, round, 35" diameter. Even concentration with a bright core and faint stellar nucleus.
In contact with NGC 4841B at the NE end (separation of 34"). Faint, small, round, 30" diameter. Similar size as NGC 4841A but lower surface brightness with a very weak concentration and no core although a faint stellar nucleus is visible. Member of AGC 1656.
