NGC 5263 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Canes Venatici constellation. NGC 5263 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 14, NGC 5263 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 14 inches (350mm) or more.

From Virginia Beach , NGC5263 is visible in the morning sky, becoming accessible around 21:52, when it reaches an altitude of 21° above your eastern horizon. It will then reach its highest point in the sky at 03:23, 81° above your southern horizon. It will be lost to dawn twilight around 06:15, 52° above your western horizon.

NGC 5263 ist eine 13,4 mag helle Spiralgalaxie vom Hubble-Typ Sc im Sternbild Jagdhunde. Sie ist etwa 218 Millionen Lichtjahre von der Milchstraße entfernt. Das Objekt wurde am 11. April 1785 von Wilhelm Herschel mit einem 18,7-Zoll-Spiegelteleskop entdeckt, [3] der sie dabei mit „vF, S, much extended nearly in the meridian“ [4] beschrieb.

2023年5月5日 · Messier 3 and (a very small) NGC 5263 - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: Until recently, my only telescope was a 1300mm f/12.7 Mak-Cass. A difficult little beast to handle on a budget mount (CEM26). So, I stepped down a bit to an Astro-Tech AT102ED, 714mm f/7.

2014年7月4日 · It can be found by looking almost exactly halfway along an imaginary line connecting the bright star Arcturus to Cor Caroli. This cluster is one of the largest and brightest, and is made up of around 500,000 stars. It is estimated to be 8 billion years old. It is located at a distance of about 33,900 light-years away from Earth.
