Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5627
17.5" (7/18/01): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:3 NW-SE, ~1.0'x0.6'. Broad concentration in outer halo but then suddenly rises to a very small bright core. An isosceles triangle of mag 10/12/12 stars is close west with the 10th mag star 3' SW.
Brightest in a group of 6 galaxies within 20' and in a tight trio with CGCG 075-044 3.7' NW and CGCG 075-048 1.8' SE. CGCG 075-044 appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 E-W, 0.8'x0.6', broad weak concentration. A mag 12 star is 1' N. CGCG 075-04 appeared extremely faint, very small, round, 0.3' diameter.
