NGC 3753
48" (4/16/15): moderately to fairly bright, elongated 3:1 WNW-ESE, 45"x15", contains a small bright core. Tightly paired with NGC 3754 21" NE of center and NGC 3750 40" SW. A mag 12 star is 1.3' N.
17.5" (5/11/96): the brightest member of Copeland's Septet appears very faint, very small, slightly elongated NW-SE. Closely bracketed by NGC 3750 40" SW and virtually in contact with NGC 3754 just 20" NE of center. A mag 12 star lies 1.3' N.
17.5" (3/19/88): this galaxy is the brightest member of Copeland's Septet. Very faint, fairly small, elongated WNW-ESE, bright core. This is the central galaxy in a very tight trio with NGC 3750 39" SW and NGC 3754 22" NE of center. Other members include NGC 3745 3.2' NW, NGC 3746 2.9' NW and NGC 3748 2.9' NNW.
