NGC 5693
17.5" (6/27/98): faint, fairly small, round, ~1.0' diameter. Appears as a low surface brightness glow with only a weak central brightening. A mag 13.5 star is at the south edge confusing the observation and a second mag 13 star lies 2' north. Located 11.5' SE of NGC 5689 in a group. NGC 5700 lies 8.7' ESE.
13.1" (5/26/84): faint, extended N-S, diffuse, low even surface brightness. A faint mag 14.5 star is attached at the SSE edge. Located ~15' SE of NGC 5689.
13.1" (3/24/84): very faint, moderately large, elongated 4:3 N-S (possibly enhanced by faint star at south edge.
