NGC 5350 (= PGC 49347)
Discovered (Jan 14, 1788) by William Herschel
An 11th-magnitude barred spiral galaxy (type SB(r)b) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 53 21.5, Dec +40 21 50)
A Seyfert galaxy, and a member of the NGC 5353 group of galaxies, also known as Hickson Compact Group 68. Based on a recessional velocity of 2320 km/sec, NGC 5350 is about 110 million light years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 90 to 125 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 3.2 by 2.3 arcmin, it is about 100 thousand light years across. |

NGC 5352
Discovered (May 1, 1785) by William Herschel
NGC 5353 (= PGC 49356)
Discovered (Jan 14, 1788) by William Herschel
An 11th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SA0) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 53 26.7, Dec +40 16 59)
The brightest member of the NGC 5353 group of galaxies (also known as Hickson Compact Group 68), and paired with NGC 5354. Based on a recessional velocity of 2325 km/sec, NGC 5353 is about 110 million light years away, in fair agreement with a redshift-independent distance estimate of 125 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 2.2 by 1.1 arcmin, it is about 70 thousand light years across. |

Discovered (Jan 14, 1788) by William Herschel (and later listed as NGC 5371)
Discovered (Mar 18, 1831) by John Herschel (and later listed as NGC 5390)
An 11th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SAB(rs)bc) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 55 40.0, Dec +40 27 44)
Based on a recessional velocity of 2560 km/sec, NGC 5371 is about 120 million light years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 105 to 125 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 4.4 by 3.5 arcmin, it is about 150 thousand light years across. The core of the galaxy is relatively bright, and it is tentatively classified as a Seyfert galaxy (type Sy?). Given its more or less comparable distance, NGC 5371 is probably a wide member of the NGC 5353 galaxy group (the other members are also known as Hickson Compact Group 68). |

Discovered (May 16, 1784) by William Herschel (and later listed as NGC 5396)
Discovered (May 15, 1830) by John Herschel (and later listed as NGC 5375)
A 12th-magnitude barred spiral galaxy (type SB(r)ab) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 56 55.9, Dec +29 09 51)
William Herschel's position was poor, and although John suspected their observations were of the same object he gave them different listings, in case he was wrong; and Dreyer followed his lead, hence the double listing. Based on a recessional velocity of 2385 km/sec, NGC 5396 (= NGC 5375) is about 110 million light years away, in reasonable agreement with a redshift-independent distance estimate of 125 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 3.2 by 2.8 arcmin, it is about 110 thousand light years across. |
