Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5669

17.5" (3/12/94): moderately bright, fairly large, elongated 3:2 SW-NE.  Broad concentration to a large, slightly brighter core but no nucleus.  The core appears offset to the north side.  Forms a pair with CGCG 075-063 6.2' WNW.

8" (3/24/84): very faint, fairly small, very diffuse, round, even surface brightness.
