NGC 5321
48" (4/15/10): at 510x appeared bright, fairly large, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, ~0.5'x0.25'. Contains a small, bright nucleus. Located 4.6' SSE of NGC 5318. Forms the vertex of an isosceles triangle with two mag 11 stars ~3.7' WNW and SW. A mag 14.5 star lies 1.2' WSW of center.
18" (5/16/09): fairly faint, small, round, 24" diameter, weak concentration though with direct vision a faint quasi-stellar nucleus was visible. Located 4.5' SSE of NGC 5318 and 11' E of NGC 5312.
17.5" (5/22/93): faint, very small, round. Two faint mag 14.5-15 stars are close west [mag 14.5 1.2' WSW] and two mag 11 stars are 3.6' W and 3.8' SW. NGC 5318 lies 4' NNW and NGC 5312 11' W.
