Steve's Notes

===== NGC 5347 17.5" (6/5/99): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, 1.0'x0.7'. Broad concentration to a brighter core. At times there appears to be brighter spot involved (extremely faint star?), although I was not able to confirm this impression. A mag 10.5 star with two mag 13.5/14 companions lies 3' NE. Located 8.5' NE of mag 8 SAO 63805.
