| NGC5796 | 14:59.4 | -16 37 | Galaxy | 11.6 | 1.9'x1.7' | 125KLY | July 31 2011 | Belanglo |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | | | Easy to see 'fuzzy' area next to two field stars close together. Prolonged obserevation shows bright centre and
fainter surrounds. |
| NGC5878 | 15:13.8 | -14 16 | Galaxy | 11.5 | 3.5'x1.7' | 90KLY | August 27 2011 | Belanglo |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | See notes | | 20mmWA - could see it easily, but no detail. 13.8mmSWA - still no detail. 9mmNagler - takes elongated shape
with a bright central region. 6mmWA - washes out. |
| NGC5897 | 15:17.4 | -21 01 | Globular Cluster | 8.6 | 12.6' | 39KLY | July 17 1999 | Farmborough Heights |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 9.7mmSP | | Very large, but, apart from a handful of possibly foreground stars, couldn't make out single stars from the tenuous
mass. The bulk of its stars must be very faint. A bit irregularly-shaped. |
| NGC5898 | 15:18.2 | -24 06 | Galaxy | 11.5 | 1.7'x1.7' | 93MLY | July 17 1999 | Farmborough Heights |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPlossl/9.7mmSP | | [Observed with NGC5903] Obvious pair of non-stellar objects in a wide-field. At higher magnification, also
in the same field. NGC5898 is the brighter of the two. |
| NGC5903 | 15:18.6 | -24 04 | Galaxy | 11.5 | 2.0'x1.7' | 104MLY | July 17 1999 | Farmborough Heights |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPlossl/9.7mmSP | | [See NGC 5898] Obvious pair of non-stellar objects in a wide-field. At higher magnification, also
in the same field. NGC5898 is the brighter of the two. |
| NGC5915 | 15:21.6 | -13 06 | Galaxy | 12.3 | 1.6'x1.2' | 97MLY | July 18 2009 | Culburra |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 32mmSWA/9mmNagler | | Could just pick it at low power. Surprisingly bright and slightly elongated at high power. |
