Description:
134X-NGC3078 appears as a oval, diffuse object gradually brighterntoward the
center which is quite bright. The halo is almost 2 times the size of the core.
The major axis is oriented nearly N-S.
254X-NGC appears much the same as at 134X, just larger. A diffuse oval
gradually brighter toward the center. The core is diffuse making it difficult
to determine where it's boundry begins if there is one. The gradation may be
gradual from tenuous to maximum density without a density step.
About 5 deg. Outside the FOV lies NGC3084, a 13.2p galaxy at 15' S.E. and
ESO 499-32, at 14.7' to E.N.E.
