Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4916

18" (4/30/11): fairly faint, very elongated 7:2 NNW-SSE, ~0.75'x0.25', contains a very small brighter nucleus.  Overall this edge-on has a high surface brightness.  NGC 4922 lies 9' NW and NGC 4914 = IC 843 is 10' SW.

This galaxy was probably discovered and sketched by Lawrence Parsons on 24 Apr 1865 along with NGC 4912 and NGC 4913 while observing the NGC 4914 field.  It is not identified as NGC 4916 in any modern catalogue
