On this page I collect my observations of the galaxies NGC 5981 (spiral), NGC 5982 (elliptical), and NGC 5985 (berred spiral) (Draco triplet) in the constellation Draco.
The galaxies NGC 5981 (edge-on spiral), NGC 5982 (elliptical), and NGC 5985 (barred spiral) in the constellation Draco form the Draco triplet (galaxy trio Holm 719 or KTG 64).
