Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5712

17.5" (6/24/95): extremely faint and small, round, 10-15" diameter, faint stellar nucleus.  Forms a pair with IC 4470 4.0' WNW.  IC 4470 appeared very faint, very small, round.  There is a mag 14.5 star just off the NE side 21" from center which confused the observation.  At moments, the compact core of the galaxy and the star appeared to form a faint double star.  I missed the faint extensions (arm) E-W on the POSS.  Forms a pair with NGC 5712 4.0' ESE.
