NGC 5943
24" (7/28/16): at 260x; moderately bright, fairly small, slightly elongated perhaps 5:3 ~N-S, ~40"x32", well concentrated with a bright core that gradually increases to the center. In a group (WBL 572 and WBL 569) with NGC 5945 8.5' N, CGCG 222-015 = PGC 55238 7.5' S, NGC 5947 10' ESE and NGC 5934/5935 19' NW. CGCG 222-015 appeared fairly faint, small, round, 20" diameter, weak concentration.
17.5" (6/21/93): faint, small, round, even surface brightness except for very small brighter core. Third of five in a group with NGC 5945 8.5' N and NGC 5947 10' ESE.
