Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 5895
17.5" (6/30/00): very faint, small, slightly elongated, ~25" diameter, no concentration. A mag 13.5 star is 1.1' E. Forms a pair with difficult NGC 5896. Located 4.2' NE of NGC 5893.
17.5" (7/12/99): extremely faint, very small, round, 15" diameter. Apparently I only viewed the center of this elongated galaxy through thin clouds. Located 1' W of a mag 14 star. At moments I suspected a marginal glow close north which might have been NGC 5896. Located 11' SSE of mag 6 SAO 45445.
17.5" (5/2/92): extremely faint, small, very elongated 3:1 SSW-NNE. A mag 14 star is 1.1' E of center. Forms a pair with NGC 5893 4.2' SW. NGC 5896 is 1.0' N (not seen).
