Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 5619B = IC 1016 (which see) = IC 4424. The NGC designation is from RNGC
which pulled the galaxy out of Holmberg's 1937 thesis on double and multiple
galaxies (this is Holmberg 645b). Holmberg apparently did not check the IC
identifications as there are none given in his thesis.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5619
24" (5/11/13): moderately to fairly bright, very elongated 5:2 N-S, ~1.6'x0.7', sharply concentrated with a very bright, very small core. Brightest and largest in a trio with IC 4424 3.7' ENE and UGC 9258 = NGC 5619C 3.2' ESE. IC 4424 appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, ~24"x14". A mag 16 star is just off the south side, 15" from center. UGC 9258 appeared faint to fairly faint, low surface brightness (face-on spiral?), round, diffuse glow, very weak concentration, 24" diameter.
17.5" (6/8/91): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 SSW-NNE, bright core, faint stellar nucleus. A mag 13.5 star is 1.7' NW of center. Brightest of three with IC 4424 3.5' NE and UGC 9258 3' ESE. The three galaxies form a rough equilateral triangle with sides of length 3'.
