Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 527

17.5" (11/1/97): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 SSW-NNE, 1.0'x0.4', weak concentration to a slightly brighter core.  A mag 13 star lies 1' NE.  The double system NGC 526 is 3.1' N.  NGC 527, itself, is a double system with MCG -06-04-022 = PGC 5142 (not seen), a faint edge-on system, close following the south end and just 46" between centers.
