Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 5889.  Lord Rosse's description suggests that NGC 5889 is as far north-
following N5888 as N5888 is north-following N5886.  The identity is thus clear
and RC3 is just as clearly wrong (the RC3 listing is probably a duplicate of 
NGC 5888).

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 5889

17.5" (7/15/93): extremely faint, small, appears very elongated SSW-NNE but difficult to pin down the orientation due to faintness and only visible for moments using averted.  Collinear with NGC 5888 4.1' SSW and mag 8.7 SAO 45437 7.5' SSW.
