Steve's Notes

NGC 5760
18" (7/13/07): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 ~E-W. Contains a small, bright core that appears offset to the west side of the glow. Occasionally a faint stellar nucleus popped into view. Forms a pair with IC 4507 ~3' south. This companion appeared extremely faint, very small, round, 12" diameter.
17.5" (7/16/01): faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 WNW-ESE, weakly concentrated. Located 3.4' N east of a mag 10.5 star. Forms a pair with difficult IC 4507 2.9' S.
17.5" (6/16/01): faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 ~E-W, 1.0'x0.6', weak concentration. IC 4507 2.8' S (mag 15.7z) was not seen with certainty in poor conditions (partially cloudy). HCG 72 lies 32' N.
