NGC 5774
24" (7/14/15): at 375x; moderately to fairly bright, fairly large, slightly elongated NW-SE, 2.0'x1.5', slightly brighter middle, gradually increases towards the center. Either contains a faint stellar nucleus or a faint star is superimposed near the center. A mag 14 star is just off the northeast side, 1.4' from the center. Forms a trio with NGC 5775 4.4' SE and IC 1070 6.3' SSE.
17.5" (4/13/91): fairly faint, moderately large, round, fairly low surface brightness, gradually brighter but no well-defined core. A mag 14 star is off the NE edge 1.4' from center. Forms a pair with NGC 5775 4.5' SE.
