NGC 5170 = ESO 576-065 = MCG -03-34-084 = UGCA 360 = FGC 1626 = PGC 47396 13 29 48.7 -17 57 57 V = 11.1; Size 8.3x1.0; SB = 13.3; PA = 127d 17.5": fairly faint but large, very thin edge-on NW-SE. On first glance appeared 4'-5' in length at 220x but with averted vision this impressive ray extends to at least 6'x0.7'. Contains a moderately bright and slightly bulging oval core 1.2'x0.7' giving the galaxy a classic thin "lens" appearance. The extensions are significantly fainter and taper and dim towards the tips. This galaxy has a narrow dust lane (not seen) similar to NGC 4565. A mag 9.5 star lies 9' SW. | |||
