Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5777
24" (7/6/13): at 200x appeared fairly bright, large, edge-on ~8:1 NW-SE, ~2.4'x0.3'. Contains a small bright core that is elongated and increases to a brighter sub-stellar nucleus. A mag 14.5 star is adjacent to the NW tip of the galaxy on the following edge. Forms a pair with UGC 9570, a dwarf galaxy 2.8' SE of center. The ghostly companion appeared as a very low surface brightness ill-defined glow, ~25" diameter.
17.5" (6/21/93): fairly faint, edge-on 5:1 NW-SE, 2.0'x0.4', small bright core, thin extensions. A mag 14.5 star is close to the NW tip, 1.2' from center. Located 20' S of mag 5.5 HD 131507.
