Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5263

17.5" (5/27/95): faint, very elongated 3:1 SSW-NNE, 1.0'x0.3', no central brightening.  Located 3.1' NNE of mag 9.5 SAO 82932.  Also, the galaxy is 30' preceding the beautiful globular cluster M3 in the same low power field!  Easy to view both at 100x with a 20mm Nagler.
