NGCLes

Hi All, Interesting post. I was editing my log into a text document the other day when I came upon my observation of this group -- an observation that includes NGC 5226. Is part of the NGC 5230 group, 16’ NW of NGC 5230. NGC 5226 is an exceptionally faint and tiny galaxy. Occasionally, barely visible as a 10" spot of the weakest gossamer no structure. I see this galaxy was discovered by Dryer himself with the 72" at Birr Castle. There are no observing notes on the NGC/IC site by S Gottlieb. Am I the first person to actually see this galaxy -- 18th April 2010 since its discovery in 1877? And so I started to search to see if anyone else had observed it visually -- and arrived here. And the question I posed myself remains. I know that Steve Gottlieb observed this galaxy with a 24" in 2013 but has anyone else spotted it visually? Am I the first to actually see it since Dryer in 1877? Best NGCLes.
