Steve's Notes

===== NGC 5828 24" (6/13/15): fairly faint to moderately bright, fairly small, slightly elongated SW-NE, ~0.6'x0.45', slightly brighter core. Forms a close pair with NGC 5828A just 40" S of center. The companion appeared very faint and small, round, 8" diameter. Visible ~80-90% of the time with averted. 17.5" (6/18/93): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated WSW-ENE, 0.8'x0.6'. Forms a double system with NGC 5828A = MCG +08-27-052 just off the south edge (40" S of center). A mag 14 star is 1.3' ENE. NGC 5828A appeared extremely faint and small, round, visible intermittently with averted vision.
