NGC 5600

17.5" (6/12/99): at 280x appears moderately bright, broadly concentrated to a 50" bright core which is slightly brighter on the following side.  The small halo is slightly elongated WNW-ESE, 1.3'x1.1'.  Forms one end of a cross asterism with a mag 10 star 8' NE and two mag 12 stars 4' N and 4' SE.

8" (5/21/82): fairly faint, round, broad concentration.
