Wrong angular dimensions[edit]

The entries under Apparent Size are wrong. This becomes fairly obvious from the photos when comparing the size of the galaxy with it's distance to Maffei 1, which is 1.34°. From this consideration the (major axis) size should be approximately a quarter degree. Looking at the source of the entries, I find a disclaimer pointing out the numbers may be unreliable (indeed!). In the same database, in a different location, I found other values without disclaimers. Unit conversion gives the numbers I'll use to overwrite the old values here.WikiPidi (talk) 10:20, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
