Steve's Notes

NGC 5226

24" (6/1/13): faintest member of the NGC 5230 quartet.  At 282x appeared extremely faint, very small, appeared to be elongated ~2:1 N-S, 12"x6".  Required averted and could not hold for more than a couple of seconds.  Located 5.7' NNE of NGC 5221.  This galaxy is surprisingly faint for an NGC, though it was discovered with the 72-inch.

17.5" (5/30/92):  Not found.
