NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 5982 24" (5/29/14): bright, moderately large, elongated 5:4 WNW-ESE, sharply concentrated with a high surface brightness intense core that increases to a stellar nucleus. The halo extends up to 1.6'x1.3'. Second in the Draco triplet with edge-on NGC 5981 6.3' WNW and spiral NGC 5985 7.5' ESE. 18" (6/17/06): fairly bright, moderately large, slightly elongated, sharply concentrated with a high surface brightness core increasing to a stellar nucleus. The halo is much fainter and increases in size to ~1.5'x1.2'. This elliptical is the second of an excellent trio in a 14' string with NGC 5981 (edge-on spiral) and NGC 5985 (face-on spiral). 17.5" (3/28/87): fairly bright, fairly small, bright round core, stellar nucleus, fainter halo elongated 3:2 ~E-W. Second of a striking trio with NGC 5981 6.4' WNW and NGC 5985 7.5' ESE. 13" (5/14/83): fairly bright, small, small bright nucleus, slightly elongated E-W. In a trio with NGC 5981 and NGC 5985.
