Bug Description

Sorry for being so pedantic, but I have read about some confusion about this on astro forums, and have been puzzled myself; and it's my way of contributing.

The size of NGC 3242 - the Ghost of Jupiter - is shown on Stellarium as 20' Plus. The NGC database I use also shows size as 20.2.

This is plainly incorrect. Size is more like 30", or so.
