Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5513
17.5" (7/17/01): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 4:3 WNW-ESE, 1.0'x0.75'. Contains a bright, sharp 15" core, which is concentrated to a distinct stellar nucleus. Three mag 11-12 stars forming an arrowhead pointing west is close south. Brightest of trio with MCG +04-34-004 just 1.4' SW and NGC 5509 7' WSW. The MCG appeared faint, very small, round, only 12" in diameter. This is a small edge-on system, so I probably only picked up the brighter core. NGC 5513 is located 1.4 degrees NNW of Arcturus.
