Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5722

17.5" (6/27/98): very faint, extremely small, round, 15" diameter.  Collinear with NGC 5717 2.9' W and the mag 11/13 pair 6.5' W.  A nice pair of mag 12.5 stars [26" separation] located 5' N is perfectly on line with this galaxy.  Brightest in a tight grouping with NGC 5721 just 35" NNW and NGC 5723 1.5' NNE.
