NGC 3005
48" (5/14/12): moderately bright and large, elongated 3:1 NNW-SSE, ~0.6'x0.2', broad concentration. Forms the north vertex of a quartet with NGC 2998, 3006 and 3008. Located 3.7' SSE of mag 8.9 HD 84830, so I kept the bright star outside the field. The nearest galaxy is NGC 3008, situated 3.9' SE.
17.5" (2/8/91): extremely faint and small, round. Located 3.7' SSE of mag 8.4 SAO 43053. This member of the NGC 2998 group lies just north of a line connecting NGC 2998 6.4' SW and NGC 3008.
