Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 5029. Dreyer has an observation of two galaxies, one of which he thought
was indeed NGC 5029, including several other objects in the area. See the
entry for UGC 8269 in the "notngc" files for a first attempt at finding what
Dreyer was seeing with LdR's 72-inch.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5029
18" (7/1/03): fairly faint, fairly small, sharply concentrated with a bright 30" core and a much fainter halo which increases the size to perhaps 1.0'. The outer halo appears irregular with a hint of structure. Collinear with two mag 10 stars to the east. Collinear with a mag 11 star 3.4' ESE and mag 9.5 SAO 44516 a similar distance further ESE.
