Hi everyone!
NGC 5371 is a face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation CVn. With an apparent brightness of 10.6 mag and a surface brightness of 13.4 mag, this object might be interesting for beginners as well. The galaxy is placed only a few arc minutes eastern of Hickson 68, therefore there are two reasons to visit this area. Here is my sketch from last spring - I observed with my 24" dobsonian at 252x
