NGC 5317

NGC 5317 = N5364: = U08853 = MCG +01-36-003 = CGCG 046-009 = Ho 557a = PGC 49555
13 56 11.9 +05 00 53

See observing notes for N5364.

Discovered by JH (h1678) and described as"vF, vL, vgbM, R".  Reinmuth states "no 
vF vL neb found" and listed as nonexistent by Carlson.  Corwin suggests that 
N5317 is a duplicate observation of N5364 with a 5 tmin error in RA (declination 
matches) and further that the descriptions are identical.

V = 10.5;  Size 6.8x4.4;  SB = 14.1;  PA = 30d

17.5": moderately bright, large, broad weak concentration, elongated SW-NE.  Two 
mag 14 stars are 1.6' NW of center.  Forms a pair with N5360 8' WSW and N5363 
lies 14.5' N.  Sixth of seven in the N5363 group.

8": faint, large, diffuse glow.  Forms an unusual pair with smaller but brighter 
N5363 14' N.

NGC 5317 = NGC 5364 with a 5 minute correction to its RA.  JH's descriptions 
of the objects are identical, and he did not record N5364 in the sweep in
which he found N5317.  Nor did he record N5317 more than once.  The identity
is pretty sure. - Dr. Harold G. Corwin, Jr.

As with all corrections to the NGC and IC Catalogues, there is a certain margin
for error, even though the evidence supporting the correction may be strong and
compelling. It is with this in mind that we ask the user to use this information
as 'Most Probable', but never to assume the correction is 'Absolute'.  All
published corrections are based on an exhaustive 'paper chase' of the historical
record back to the original discoverer's published notes/papers, and are
therefore based upon the historical accuracy (or inaccuracy) of those particular
notes/papers. In short, Caveat Emptor! - Robert E. Erdmann, Jr.
