Object Information Imaging Details |

NGC 5033 is a Seyfert type galaxy about 50 million light-years distant from Earth. It has a relatively large angular size (nearly 11 arc-minutes) and is fairly bright at mag 10.7. This was one of the few images that I was able to acquire at the 2015 Texas Star Party. Weather was poor with only a couple of nights providing decent imaging opportunities. Clicking the above image will bring up a higher resolution image with a wider field of view. The linked image contains three additional NGC galaxies - NGC 5002, 5005 and 5014 at magnitude 14.4, 9.8 and 13.6, respectively. NGC 5005 is shown in the preview above. |
