NGC 5365
14" (4/2/16 - Coonabarabran, 160x): fairly bright, fairly small, round, 40" diameter, high surface brightness. Contains a very bright nucleus. Apparently I missed the low surface brightness out halo. Several stars are nearby including a mag 10.7 star 3.7' NW, a mag 13 star 2' NW, a mag 12 star 2.9' SSW and a mag 12 star 2.4' SE. Several of these stars form a semicircle cradling the galaxy. Located 53' NNW of mag 3.9 Upsilon 1 Centauri.
NGC 5365B is 9' ESE and NGC 5365A is 13.5' SW. NGC 5365B is a fairly faint, thin edge-on SW-NE, 0.8'x0.2'. NGC 5365A is also a fairly faint edge-on E-W, 1.5'x0.25'. A mag 12 star is at the east edge.
