Description

NGC 5557 : elliptical Galaxy in Bootes. magn. 11 , distance ?

Discoverer : William Herschel 1785

The total size of this galaxy, including the dim outer shell, is at least 2 times larger !

Using a one shot RGB CCD and sitting at 52° latitude, I am not able to show this.

Any longer exposure time would be counter-productive (especially at current moon phase).
