NGC 5775
24" (7/14/15): at 375x; bright, fairly large, very elongated 4:1 NW-SE, 3.6'x0.9', slightly brighter elongated middle. This edge-on has a mottled, dusty appearance. A slightly brighter patch is at the southeast end (HII region "C" in the 2001 paper "NGC 5775: Anatomy of a disk-halo interface" (2001A&A...377..759L). A mag 13.5 star lies 0.9' NE of center. Brightest in a physical trio with NGC 5774 4.4' NW and IC 1070 3.9' SSW.
17.5" (4/13/91): fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 3:1 NW-SE, weakly concentrated to a large elongated brighter central region. A mag 13 star is just northeast of the core 0.9' from center. Forms a pair with NGC 5774 4.5' NW.
