Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5409

17.5" (6/4/94): fairly faint, slightly elongated SW-NE, 1.2'x1.0'.  Just a very weak even concentration to a slightly brighter core and an occasional faint stellar nucleus.  Halo fades into background without a distinct edge.  In a trio with CGCG 74-48 3.7' NE and NGC 5416 6.9' ESE and one or two others suspected.  Member of NGC 5416 cluster = ZC 1400.4+0949.
