NGC 5967
24" (4/4/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 200x appeared fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 3:2 WNW-ESE, ~1.7'x1.2'. Broad concentration with a large, slightly brighter core. The halo (arms) appears slightly irregular or mottled. Located 34' NE of a mag 6 star.
NGC 5967A lies 8' SW in the same field. At 260x, it appeared fairly faint, moderately large but diffuse, with an ill-defined edge and weak concentration. Situated within a N-S string of stars including a mag 12.5 star at the SW edge.
