Steve's Notes

===== NGC 4921 18" (4/20/12): fairly faint, moderately large, irregularly round, ~1.5' diameter, sharply concentrated with a fairly faint, slightly elongated core, ~24"x20", surrounded by a very low surface brightness unconcentrated halo. NGC 4923 lies 2.7' SSE. This is the largest spiral (face-on) in the Coma cluster. 17.5" (4/21/90): fairly faint, fairly small, bright core, large low surface brightness halo surrounded core. This is one of the brighter members of AGC 1656 but it appears fainter than the integrated V magnitude suggests. Nearby are NGC 4923 2.7' SSE and NGC 4919 5.1' SSW. 13" (5/14/83): fairly faint, fairly small, round, 3rd of 3 in AGC 1656.
