Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5755
18" (5/3/08): at 280x this member of the NGC 5754 quartet appeared very faint, round, just 20" diameter. Contains a faint stellar nucleus or a faint star is superimposed. On the DSS, this appears to be an interacting double system, so perhaps I was just resolving it. NGC 5753 lies 1.9' NW.
17.5" (6/21/93): last of four in the NGC 5754 quartet. Very faint, small, round, 25" diameter, even surface brightness. A mag 13 star lies 1' SE. Forms a close pair with NGC 5753 1.9' NW and the NGC 5752/5754 pair is just 3' SSW.
