NGC 5547

17.5" (7/16/93): faint, small, round, 0.6' diameter, low even surface brightness.  A string of three mag 12-14 stars are equally spaced about 3' to the west and oriented SW-NE.  An extremely faint mag 16 star or a faint companion is just off the south edge.  Forms a double system with IC 4404.
