| Notes: | This interesting group is a bit small for my focal length (~1000mm). NGC 5754 is centered. The galaxy with the faint twisted arms above N 5754 is NGC 5755 (0.8', 16.0 mag, Cl: SBd), the small galaxy above that is NGC 5753 (0.6'x0.5', 15.7 mag, Cl: --). The little companion at the end of NGC 5754's arm is NGC 5752 (0.8'x0.4', 16.6 mag, Cl: Sb). A very faint tidal tail stretches away from N 5754/5752 to the west (right) |
