Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5449

18" (6/21/03): marginal object at 323x, but backing down to 215x a weak but definite glow was visible, perhaps 15"-20" diameter.  Located 3.5' N of NGC 5457.

17.5" (6/7/97): extremely low contrast HII knot in M101.  Highly suspected hazy spot 3.5' N of NGC 5457 but difficult to confirm.
