Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4883
18" (4/20/12): this member of the Coma cluster is relatively isolated, roughly halfway between NGC 4889 (4.4' SE) and the mag 7.2 star (5.4' NW) in the core of the cluster. At 322x it appeared faint to fairly faint, small, oval 5:4 E-W, 18"x14", slightly brighter core. The bright star is somewhat of a nuisance.
17.5" (4/21/90): located in the central core of AGC 1656 4.4' NW of NGC 4889 and 6.4' NE of NGC 4874. Very faint, very small, round. Mag 7.2 SAO 82595 5.4' WNW hinders observation of this galaxy.
