NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 5635 24" (7/6/13): at 322x appeared fairly bright, fairly large, very elongated 3:1 WSW-ENE, 2.0'x0.7'. Well concentrated with a large bright core ~30" diameter, that gradually increases to the center. The extension to the southwest appears longer and brighter, so the galaxy has an asymmetric appearance. The DSS confirms this impression, as the SW arm is noticeably brighter and better defined. Nearly collinear with mag 9.5 SAO 88365 11' NW and a mag 11.5 star 7.5' NW. A 20" pair of mag 15/16 stars lie 2' N. UGC 9317 lies 23' ENE and appeared fairly faint, moderately large, irregularly round, 1.2' diameter, low surface brightness, very weak gradual concentration with no core or zones. 17.5" (7/16/01): moderately bright, moderately large, elongated ~2:1 WSW-ENE, 2.2'x1.0'. Broad concentration to a 40" rounder core. Collinear with mag 9.5 SAO 88365 11' NW and a mag 11 star 7' NW. A mag 13.5 star lies 1.9' S of center.
