NGC 5529
18" (7/2/11): fairly faint but striking large edge-on, ~7:1 WNW-ESE, ~3.2'x0.4', weak concentration with a larger, slightly brighter central region. No distinct core or nucleus. A 1' string of three star mag 11/13/13.5 stars is ESE, with the bright star collinear with the major axis of the galaxy.
NGC 5529 forms a close pair with MCG +06-31-087 3.7' SE (background galaxy) and MCG +06-31-086 is 9' N. The MCG to the southeast (discovered in 1855 at Birr Castle but not assigned a NGC designation) appeared extremely faint and small, round, 8" diameter, low surface brightness. MCG +06-31-086 is faint, small, round, 15" diameter, and is situated 3.1' ENE of a mag 10.2 star.
17.5" (5/27/95): faint, large, edge-on ~8:1 ratio WNW-ESE, 3.5'x0.4', weak concentration. Two nearby mag 14.5 stars are 1.4' S of center and off the ESE extension 3.0' from center. Forms a close pair with MCG +06-31-087 3.8' SE. NGC 5557 lies 38' ENE.
