NGC 5569

24" (5/11/13): faint, fairly large, very diffuse glow with a very weak core, slightly elongated, ~1.2'x1.0'.  Faintest in a triplet; 4.3' NE of NGC 5566 and 7.0' E of NGC 5560.

17.5" (3/23/85): extremely faint, almost round, fairly small, just visible at 200x.  This difficult galaxy is the faintest of three and located just 4.1' NE of the center of NGC 5566 and 6.8' E of NGC 5560.
