A very poor night with almost overwhelming light pollution. However...

NGC 2964 - Large and quite dim. Brighter in the middle where there is a roundish brighter central area.

NGC 2968 - Smaller than NGC 2964 and dimmer. Elongated but with no sign of central brightening.

NGC 2970 - A very small, very faint, round nebulous spot.
