NGC 5485
18" (4/26/08): bright, moderately large, elongated 4:3 N-S, sharply concentrated with a very bright 25" core and a much fainter 1.4' halo. With direct vision a stellar nucleus was easily visible. Brightest in a small trio with NGC 5484 3.8' WNW and NGC 5484 6.4' NNE.
17.5" (5/10/86): fairly bright, bright core, possible stellar nucleus. Nearby galaxies are NGC 5484 3.8' WNW and NGC 5486 6.4' NNE. Member of the M101 group.
13.1" (5/26/84): fairly bright, fairly small, slightly elongated, increases to a bright core.
13.1 (6/29/84): fainter halo increases in size with averted.
