Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5149

17.5" (5/15/99): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 NNW-SSE, 1.0'x0.7'.  Contains a brighter core with fainter extensions that seem slightly offset from the central region.  A mag 14.5-15 star is superimposed on the north edge [51" from center].  A mag 11 star lies 4' SW.  Forms a pair with NGC 5154 6' NE.
