Description

NGC 5033, located about 40 million light-years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici (The Hunting Dogs). The galaxy is similar in size to our own galaxy, the Milky Way, at just over 100 000 light-years across.

NGC 5005 Caldwell 29 was discovered by the British astronomer William Herschel in 1785. It can be spotted with a small telescope in the constellation Canes Venatici. Although small and faint, with an apparent magnitude of 9.8, the galaxy has a compact core that makes it easier to spot than larger, brighter galaxies whose light is more spread out. It is located near another spiral galaxy, NGC 5033, and the two can be observed together with a wide field of view. Caldwell 29 is located roughly 75 million light-years from Earth.

Integration time LRGHA 8 hours. Subs 180 sec.
