Steve's Notes

===== NGC 5759 17.5" (7/17/01): very faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 0.8'x0.4', low even surface brightness. Forms a pair with difficult CGCG 76-42 3.4' S. This is a double system with a compact companion off the NW end but was not resolved. Located 13' S of NGC 5758 in a group.
