NGC5033
About this celestial object
NGC 5033 shows a wide‑flung spiral with a lively core—collected near the horizon.
The galaxy in Canes Venatici is known for its active core and asymmetric dust lanes; together with NGC 5005 it forms a striking pair on the sky.
A total of 6800 s at 250 mm focal length (f/5) raises core contrast against the dense horizon layer and stretches the faint outer reaches.
