Description:
NGC5376; Mag 12.1, Size 2.0' X 1.0', RA 13:55, DEC +59:30
A uniform oval halo which is elongated NE-SW.  It shows slight, gradual,
diffuse brightening toward the core.  Visible with direct vision at 77x,
it was best seen at 193x-257x.  A 9th magnitude field star lies 12' E. and
NGC5389 is located ~14' NE..

NGC5389; Mag 12.0, Size 3.0' X 1.0', RA 13:56, DEC +59:44
A uniform oval halo elongated N-S..  It gradually brightens to a fairly
bright, during moments of steady seeing, nearly stellar core.  Visible
with direct vision at 77x, it was best seen at 193x-257x.  A wide pair
of 9th-10th magnitude stars, aligned NW-SE, are located just off the NE
edge.  NGC5379, plotted 4' W., was suspected but could not be confirmed.
