Description

NGC5033 is a Seyfert galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici, at a distance of some 40 or 50  million light years. It is a fairly thankful target as it is quite extended and fairly bright. It has a very interesting morphology with a nice complex inner part and well developed spiral arms in the outskirts which are also considerably warped.

Data were taken on May 16,17, 25, 26 and 27 (nights are getting very short!)
