Contemporary Visual Observation(s) for NGC 3511
NGC 3511 = ESO 502-013 = MCG -04-26-020 = UGCA 223 = PGC 33385 11 03 23.7 -23 05 11 V = 11.0; Size 5.8x2.0; SB = 13.5; PA = 76d 17.5": fairly bright, large, very elongated 3:1 WSW-ENE, 4.0'x1.4'. Broad concentration to a larger brighter core. Bracketed by a mag 13 star at the ENE end and a mag 14 star at the WSW tip. Forms a pair with N3513 10.8' SE. A mag 9.5 star (SAO 179479) is 5' S, roughly midway between the galaxies. - by Steve Gottlieb
