Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 5312 is the northwestern and brighter of a close pair of galaxies. Though Javelle's position points directly to the object, his description includes the note "... d'aspect granul'e". The galaxy is an SB(s)a with broad, smooth arms, not noticeably "granulated" in any of the images. Did Javelle perhaps glimpse the companion? If so, the pair together might take on a mottled aspect at the eyepiece.
