Also far east of the Virgo cluster center. These are hardly worth the trip. SIMBAD database has NGC5813 listed as magnitude 12.5 vice the 10.5 on our list, maybe a typo. But NGC5806 is listed as 12.9 vice 11.7. I will agree with SIMBAD, both these are faint. 'Primary' an elliptical and 'secondary' a spiral.
