Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5269
14" (4/4/16 - Coonabarabran, 184x): ~20 stars resolved in a 2.5' triangular region, including two mag 11-11.5 stars along the east side and a number of mag 12 stars. Not difficult to identify as fairly detached in the field but very unimpressive and appears to be an asterism. Most of the stars are in a southwest to northeast stream about 2.5' long and 30" wide. Located 5' NE of mag 8.6 HD 119271 and 13' due west of NGC 5281, a bright open cluster!
