Steve's Notes

===== NGC 5754 18" (5/3/08): brightest galaxy in a small quartet and form a close, interacting pair with NGC 5752 just 1' W. At 280x, NGC 5754 appeared moderately bright, round, 1' diameter, contains a very small bright core and faint stellar nucleus. NGC 5755 lies 3' NNE and NGC 5753 is 4.4' N. The redshift of the latter two galaxies is half that of NGC 5252 and 5254. 17.5" (6/21/93): brightest in a compact quartet. Fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated WNW-ESE, 1.0'x0.8', gradually brighter halo, small bright core. Forms an interacting pair with NGC 5752 1.1' W. The NGC 5753/NGC 5755 pair lies 4' N and 3' NNE, respectively.
