RA 19:43:34
Dec -58°39.3'
Galaxy

h: "R, vgbM, 30 arcseconds, haze thickening rapidly." On a second occassion he called it "B, mE, in pos 169.2 degrees, psbM, 90 arcseconds."

Innes, in Union Obs. Circ., 1-44, p 345, notes: “NGC (3) 4901 = D.S. 618 -- 19h 43.9m; -59° 3’ (1875) -- Nebulous patch 2’ in diameter. Only visible in a dark field. Visible on F.A. [Franklin-Adams] plates. 1917, Sept. 13”

h: "F, L, R, vglbM, 90 arcseconds, forms a triangle with 2 stars 11 and 12m, following it." The next record reads: "pF, pL, R, vglbM, 80 arcseconds."

Bailey, examining a Bruce plate (Harvard Annals, Vol 72, No 2), describes it as "pretty bright, stellar nucleus, 0.7' x 0.3' at 165 deg; spiral?"

The RNGC (Sulentic and Tifft 1973) notes that this is a unverified southern object.

h: "vF, S, R, glbM, 12 arcseconds." On a second occassion he called it "F, S, R, or lE, bM."

Bailey, examining a Bruce plate (Harvard Annals, Vol 72, No 2), describes it as "faint, bright nucleus, round, diameter 0.3'."

h: "pF, L, pmE, glbM, 2' long, 1' broad."

Bailey, examining a Bruce plate (Harvard Annals, Vol 72, No 2), describes it as "pretty bright, brighter in the middle, 1.6' x 0.7' at 100 deg, spiral."
