Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5223

17.5" (5/23/98): fairly faint, fairly small, round, 40" diameter, very little concentration.  A mag 13 star is nearly attached on the SW side, 44" from the center. At 280x, a very small core is visible and the galaxy has an uneven surface brightness.  Brightest in a group with NGC 5228 5.6' NNE and NGC 5233 10' E.
