Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5584
18" (5/28/06): fairly faint, fairly large oval 3:2 NW-SE, ~2.5'x1.7', broad weak concentration. A mag 12.5 star is just off the north end and a mag 13 star is off the SE end.
17.5" (4/5/97): fairly large diffuse glow, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, ~3.5'x2.2', broad weak concentration which is offset towards the west side as the halo is much weaker west of the core. A mag 12 star is off the north side [2.1' NNE of center] and the SE end extends to a mag 13 star [1.9' SE of center].
8" (6/29/84): faint, moderately large, very diffuse, no sharp edges. A mag 12 star is off the north edge 2.1' NNE. Located 3.4' SW of a mag 10.5 star.
