Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5007

18" (6/27/03): faint, small, round, 0.5' diameter, slightly brighter core.  A mag 14.5 star lies 0.9' NW.  Located 5.3' SW of mag 6.5 SAO 15999, which detracts from viewing.  In an interesting group with three UGC galaxies in the field of a bright star!  UGC 8234 6.5' NW, UGC 8237 8' NW and U8214 11.5' WNW.
