Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5207
24" (7/2/16): at 260x; moderately bright, fairly small, oval 4:3 or 3:2 NW-SE, 0.9'x0.6', brighter core with a stellar nucleus. A mag 12 star is 0.7' NW, just off the edge.
CGCG 073-021, discovered by Lord Rosse's observer in 1856, lies 5' NE. The companion appeared very faint and small, slightly elongated ~E-W, ~12"x9".
17.5" (5/27/95): fairly faint, small, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, 1.0'x0.6', broad concentration with no distinct core. A mag 11 star is just off the NW edge 44" from the center.
