Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5296

17.5" (6/2/00): very faint, very small, round, 20" diameter.  At moments appears elongated 3:2 ~N-S, 0.5'x0.3'.  Situated just off the SW side of NGC 5297 (1.5' from center).

17.5" (6/7/97): located 1.5' SW of NGC 5301.  Appears very faint, very small, round, 30" diameter.  Appears elongated at times but extensions very faint so difficult to determine orientation.
