Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 510

17.5" (10/4/97): this is a faint and difficult double star that was just resolved at 280x.  The fainter eastern component is difficult to cleanly resolve [separation 8"] and it is easy to imagine that Schultz would mistake this oibject as nonstellar.  Located 7' ESE of NGC 499 and 9' WNW of NGC 515 in the field of the NGC 507 Group. The RNGC mislabels PGC 5102 as NGC 510.
