NGC 5703 (= NGC 5709 = PGC 52343)
Discovered (May 16, 1784) by William Herschel (and later listed as NGC 5703)
Discovered (May 12, 1883) by Édouard Stephan (and later listed as NGC 5709)
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SBa) in Boötes (RA 14 38 50.2, Dec +30 26 33)
Although Herschel had the right of prior discovery, a one degree error made by his sister in the reduction of his observation made his observation a "lost" object until Dreyer discovered the error during a 1912 compilation of Herschel's work. As a result, Stephan's discovery was independent, and his accurate position led to the galaxy being called by the corresponding designation despite its later date. For that reason this entry will only contain historical information, and physical data and images will be posted at the entry for NGC 5709.
