Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 5804 is UGC 9627. In spite of a good position in the NGC, RNGC has
managed to mangle the identifications of not just this, but also N5794, N5797,
and N5805 (which see), also in the area. N5804 has a bright Seyfert nucleus,
easily visible on the Sky Survey prints as well as visually. The object 0.2
arcminutes to the east of the nucleus is a superposed star.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5804
18" (6/21/09): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2, 30"x20", sharply concentrated with a very small bright core that increases to the center. Third of three equally spaced galaxies on a line with NGC 5805 7' WNW and NGC 5797 12' WNW. Forms a closer pair with NGC 5805, a much fainter galaxy 2.6' SSE. Mag 5.6 HD 132254 lies 7.6' WSW.
17.5" (6/18/93): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 E-W, bright core, stellar nucleus. Third of three similar galaxies on a line: forms a close pair with NGC 5805 2.5' SSE with NGC 5797 7' WNW. Located 7.4' ENE of bright mag 5.6 SAO 45288. An incorrect position is given in RNGC, NGC 2000, and the first edition of U2000 and DSFG.
