Steve's Notes

===== NGC 5671 17.5" (7/12/99): fairly faint, moderately large, irregularly round, ~1.2'x0.9' SW-NE. Weak concentration to a slightly brighter core. Ill defined halo appears to change orientation with averted vision, so difficult to pin down the PA (the bar and core is elongated NW-SE but the arms are oriented SW-NE). Forms the eastern vertex of an obtuse triangle with two mag 10 stars 3.8' SW and 8.1' WSW. MCG +12-14-4 is just outside the 220x field 12.5' NNW.
