Steve's Notes

===== NGC 5670 14" (4/2/16 - Coonabarabran, 160x): fairly faint, moderately large, oval 2:1 WSW-ENE, 1.0'x0.5', sharply concentrated with a very small brighter core and much fainter extensions. Nearby stars make the view interesting; a mag 14 star is close off the east side and a mag 13.5 star is at the west edge. A mag 8.2 star (HD 127923) is just 2.3' SW! Located 20' WNW of the bright double star h4690 = 5.5/7.7 at 19". This is a very pretty pair with a bright light yellow primary and a blue secondary. Another mag 5.5 star (HD 128068) is 18' SSE.
