NGC 5737
18" (7/10/10): faint to fairly faint, elongated 3:2 N-S, 0.9'x0.6', slightly brighter core, very faint stellar nucleus. Situated 4.5' S of a mag 10 star and 4.6' WNW of a mag 9..8 star, forming the vertex of an obtuse isosceles triangle with the two similar stars. IC 1051 lies 16' NE.
17.5" (7/16/01): faint, moderately large, slightly elongated, 1.1'x0.8', weak concentration, irregular surface brightness. Forms the vertex of an isosceles triangle with two mag 10 stars 4' N and 4' E. Viewed low in the west with decreased transparency.
