Data from (Datos de) TheSky, Software Bisque, version 5.

Mag. is the Integrated Visual Magnitude (Magnitud Visual Integrada del objeto).
Size is visual diameter, in arc minutes (diámetro visual del objeto, en minutos de arco).
Area is in square arc minutes (área visual del objeto, en minutos cuadrados de arco).
Const. is the abbreviated name of the constellation where the object is located (nombre abreviado de la constelación en la que está situado el objeto).
