Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5134
17.5" (5/19/01): fairly large oval 3:2 NNW-SSE, 2.0'x1.3'. Contains a very small bright core and a stellar nucleus with direct vision. The halo has a mottled texture with some stellaring similar to the surface of an unresolved globular. Brightest in a group (LGG 345) with IC 4237 11' W at the edge of the 220x field. ESO 576-055 is situated 13' ENE and ESO 576-60 21' ENE. The IC galaxy appeared as a faint but moderately large glow, elongated 4:3 NW-SE, no central concentration.
