Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5950
17.5" (7/15/93): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 SSW-NNE. A mag 13.5 star is just at the north edge of the halo 1.0' from center. A nice right triangle of three brighter stars is about 5' SW with mag 9 SAO 45583 at the vertex with a mag 10 star 40" N and a mag 11 star 50" E.
