You must have the original Hartungs, published in 1968, Ngc 5102 is on page 197 of the Malin Frew revised edition published in 1995.
Ngc 5121 has a given mag of 11.5 and Ngc 5121A mag 14.7, I have observed Ngc 5102 heaps of times ,but never Ngc 5121/A, next time i'm out with the 40cm I will give them a try.

Ron, Yeah I do have the old Hartungs, found it in a second hand book store in Fremantle. Thanks for the info on 5121A, It seemed a bit brighter than 14.7 tho.

Thanks for your comment lester
