Steve's Notes

NGC 5629
17.5" (5/11/96): moderately bright, fairly small, round, 1.0' diameter, bright core. I expected to find a single galaxy so was surprised to find five galaxies in the 9mm Nagler field with IC 1017 2.4' NW, MCG +04-34-030 5.8' W, IC 1019 6.0' N and IC 1020 13' NE. I missed very compact IC 1018 1.3' SW of NGC 5629. Located 7' W of mag 7.0 SAO 83375.
IC 1017 is fairly faint, small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 45"x25", bright core. A mag 12 star is 1.1' WSW. MCG +04-34-030 is very faint, fairly small, round, very weak concentration, 40" diameter. IC 1019 is faint, small, round, 20" diameter. A mag 13 star lies 25" W of center. IC 1020 is faint, small, elongated 2:1 N-S, very small bright core. A mag 13 star lies 0.9' NW of center.
