Steve's Notes

===== NGC 5052 17.5" (6/1/02): faint, fairly small, slightly elongated 4:3 NNW-SSE, 0.9'x0.7', fairly bright stellar nucleus. A mag 13 star lies 1.6' SE of center. Located 7' SE of mag 9.3 SAO 63428. Probable outlying member of AGC 1656 (core is 4¡ SE) with a similar redshift as the cluster.
