Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5665
48" (5/16/12): at 488x, this irregular galaxy (Arp 49) appeared bright, moderately large, irregularly round, ~1.3'x1.0', broad concentration but no distinct core. The galaxy has a mottled appearance and seems dusty or patchy. A very faint, large extension or halo is on the east and southeast side and an extremely faint HII knot (identified as NGC 5665A in NED) is at the east end.
17.5" (6/24/95): moderately bright, moderately large, elongated 4:3 NW-SE, 1.6'x1.2', broad concentration to a very ill-defined core. A mag 11 star lies 5.3' ESE of center and a brighter mag 10 star 8.8' ENE.
8" (4/24/82): faint, small, slightly elongated N-S.
