NGC 5457

A fragment of an image obtained by M. Elvov with an exposure time of 11.3 hours. In the area sized 34 × 34 arcmin, the NGC5477 galaxy (the upper left corner), the Dragonfly DF 3 object, and a new M101 satellite candidate dwD are visible. The coordinates of this new LSB candidate 101 dwD are R.A. = 14 h 04 min 24.6 s and DEC = +53 ° 16 ‘ 19 ”.

Note: This webpage gives information of two galaxies. NGC 5457 (M 101) as well as NGC 5485, because both galaxies are published in one single image from F. Neyer .
