NGC 5929
18" (5/3/08): this is the southwest member of a contact, interacting pair with brighter NGC 5930. At 280x it appeared moderately bright, small, round, 25" diameter, high surface brightness, very small bright core, faint stellar nucleus. The pair is only 34" between centers and barely resolved.
13.1" (4/29/84): faint, very small, round, small bright nucleus. Forms a contact pair with NGC 5930 attached at the NE end 34" between centers.
