Steve's Notes

===== NGC 5262 17.5" (5/11/02): faint, fairly small, 0.7'x0.5' SSW-NNE, weak even concentration. Just 2' NE is an easy, nearly collinear triple star of mag 13/14 stars [19" and 20" separation]. Forms a pair with UGC 8595 2' WSW. The companion is extremely faint, very small, 0.3x0.2', low surface brightness. A mag 15.5 star is just visible at the NW tip.
