NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 5981 24" (5/29/14): moderately bright, fairly large, thin well-defined edge-on, at least 5:1 NW-SE, 2.0'x0.35'. Contains a brighter elongated core that bulges very slightly and the tips taper down. First of three in the striking Draco trio with NGC 5982 6.3' ESE. Also NGC 5978 lies 8' W. 18" (6/17/06): fairly faint, fairly large thin edge-on 5:1 NW-SE, 1.5'x0.3'. Broad weak concentration though no well-defined core. First of a striking trio with NGC 5982 and NGC 5985 arranged in a 15' WNW-ESE line. 17.5" (3/28/87): fairly faint, pretty, thin edge-on 5:1 NW-SE, brighter core. This edge-on galaxy is the first of three with elliptical NGC 5982 6.4' ESE and spiral NGC 5985 13.8' ESE in the same field! 13" (5/14/83): faint, moderately large, narrow streak.
