Description:
The NGC 5908 is a perfect example of an edge-on galaxy, elongated in a direction of NW-SE, brighter than its companion with a faint, but star-like central core. Another interesting detail I noticed is a bar-like feature in this galaxy. The NGC 5905 is much fainter, a very hard object, shows no sign of a star-like core and it's so faint that I'm sometimes not at all sure in its elongation. This doublet can be found 1° South of the very spectacular Splinter galaxy (NGC 5907).
