Description

NGC 5371 is a rather attractive face-on barred spiral in CVn. Just to the West, about 15 arcmin to be precise and out of the field here, is a nice galaxy group, ngc 5350 and friends. A possible target for the next clear night, I think.

Right Ascension: 13 55 39.97 Declination: +40 27 42.8

Type: AGN Class: SBb, Size: 4.4'X3.6', Magnitude: 10.8

NGC 5371 is a barred spiral possible seyfert galaxy, its approximate mean surface brightness is 13.5 (in magnitude per square arcminute).

This is the sum of 50 x 120 second exposures through the 10".

Not a quasar in sight!
