NGC 5723

17.5" (6/27/98): this galaxy is the last of five viewed in the NGC 5721 group and part of small quartet (3 seen).  Like NGC 5721, this marginal object required concentration and averted vision to momentarily glimpse a 16th magnitude stellar object (only core viewed) 1.5' NNE of NGC 5722.  17th magnitude NGC 5724 just 43" NE was not visible.
