3x1’ disk with low SB and little brightening towards the center. Faint oval 
core but no nucleus. 5394 is quite bright and features a bright small core in a 1x0.7’ halo of fairly high SB. A 13,5mag star lays just S of NGC5395 and a very 
faint star (~15mag) is situated only 1’ to the W and S of the two galaxies 
centers. Nice pair separated 2'.
