Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5137

18" (6/12/10): at 300x, required extended viewing to repeatedly glimpse a 15", very low surface brightness glow.  Visible ~20% of the time.  Located 5.8' ESE of NGC 5132 and 12' NE of NGC 5129.

17.5" (5/23/98): not found, though there was heavy dew affecting the observation.
