I remember observing this galaxy group several ( many ) years ago with my 8" F6 dob from our club site near Jamberoo and being impressed by the tightness of the grouping and the brightness. Not as bright as the Leo Triplet but well worth a look, according to Hartungs, mags of 9.4 for 1566 and 9.9 for 1553 and 1549. From memory I was probably using an 30mm 80* UW eyepiece which easily fitted them in the FOV.
