Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5694
17.5" (4/13/96): moderately bright but compact globular of 2' diameter with a round, symmetrical appearance. Contains a 40" well defined core that increases to a nearly stellar nucleus. There is no evident resolution in the halo. Situated at the end of a string of brighter stars with two mag 11 stars close SSW.
17.5" (5/10/86): this is a small globular cluster with a very small bright core and a fainter outer halo. Very mottled and grainy but no resolution. A pair of mag 11 stars oriented N-S are off the SW side about 1.5' and 2.5' from the center.
8" (6/27/81): fairly faint, small, bright core.
