I only focused on the brighter NGC5996, which was well seen with averted vision as slightly oval nebula, getting somewhat brighter toward the middle.

NGC5953: Slightly oval with brighter core. Oval shape comes from nearby NGC5954, which appeared much fainter.
NGC5954: Fairly small & compact. Difficult to separate from nearby NGC5993. Barely seen with averted vision.
A more detailed observation of this galaxy pair will follow.
