NGC 5324

17.5" (6/14/96): fairly faint, moderately large, round, 1.8' diameter, fairly low almost even surface brightness.  A mag 14 star is off the SE edge 1.5' from center and a mag 15.5 star is superimposed on the east side.  A pair of mag 12 stars at 36" separation are 4' WNW and a linear trio is ~8' SW.  A line drawn east through both sets of stars intersects at NGC 5324!
