Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 5758 is the brighter of two nearly equal galaxies with a fainter compact
galaxy between them. The correct galaxy can be identified by Swift's note,
"B * f 22 seconds". There is indeed a star about that far from the galaxy
(actually about 19 seconds; the distance is only 12 seconds for the
second-brightest galaxy). CGCG picked the correct galaxy, but Wolfgang did
not, at least for his first edition. I suspect he will correct that for later
editions of his catalogue.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5758
17.5" (7/17/01): very faint, very small, round, 20" diameter. A mag 14 star lies 0.9' E. In a group and forms a pair with CGCG 76-043 1.8' ESE. This companion (misidentified as NGC 5758 in the Uranometria 2000.0) appeared very faint, very small, round, 15" diameter. CGCG 76-31 lies 6' W, CGCG 76-53 12' E and NGC 5759 13' S.
