NGC 5065

17.5" (5/27/00): faint, fairly small, elongated 4:3 E-W, 0.9'x0.7', pretty smooth surface brightness.  A mag 14.5-15 star is at the north edge, 26" from the center.  Follows a wide pair of mag 10/12 stars (SAO 63455) by 5'.  Located 19' NE of NGC 5056 in a group.  Forms a pair with CGCG 160-180 2.8' SW.  The companion was extremely faint and small, round, 15" diameter.
