NGC 5371 is a face-on spiral galaxy in the northern constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered on January 14, 1788 by German-British astronomer William Herschel. The nearby NGC 5390 appears to be a duplicate entry for NGC 5371, since there is …

NGC 5371 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Canes Venatici constellation. NGC 5371 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 11.93, NGC 5371 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 8 inches (200mm) or more.

2021年6月17日 · NGC5371 and Hickson 68 - posted in Experienced Deep Sky Imaging: Here is an image of a NGC 5371 and the Hickson 68 (HCG 68) galaxy group. NGC 5371 is an intermediate spiral/bar structure with ring/spiral characteristic - SAB(rs)bc. HCG 68 has five members (NGC 5350, 5353, 5354, 5355, and 5358).

Walter Scott Houston wrote of NGC 5371 that "it should be visible in just about any telescope." He goes on to point out that an 8-inch scope will reveal "hints of internal detail." He also describes how this galaxy was apparently mistaken for a new discovery by John Herschel in 1831, NGC 5390, which does not actually exist.

Upper left galaxy is NGC 5371, a weakly barred spiral with ring and spiral arm features. The compact galaxy group Hickson 68 is to the right. The Hickson group contains NGC 5353, 5354, 5350, 5355, and 5358. NGC 5350 is a strongly barred spiral with ring. A small spiral, UGC 8841 is in the lower part of the image.

2022年2月12日 · NGC 5371是一个位于天炉座的螺旋星系，也被称为Messier 106或NGC 5371/8。 它距离地球大约2.5亿光年，是本星系群中最大的星系之一，也是本星系群中质量最大的旋涡星系之一。

NGC 5371 is a large and bright spiral galaxy in Virgo. It is easily visible in an 8" telescope. Combination of 10, 3 minute exposures, SBIG ST9XE CCD. 16" f/10 schmidt-cassegrain telescope with an f/6.3 focal reducer. Taken under very poor skies.

NGC 5371 (also called NGC 5390) is an 11th magnitude galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici near the Hickson 68 group. With apparent dimensions of 4.0' x 2.5', it is appropriate for imaging at la...

At a distance of 122 million light-years, NGC 5371 is a face-on Sbc barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. As an SBc galaxy, NGC 5371 looks similar to our galaxy, The Milky Way. NGC 5371 is also cataloged as NGC 5390. Just outside NGC 5371, at about 4 o'clock, is a bright blue quasar at magnitude 18.3.
