On this page I collect my observations of the elliptical galaxy NGC 5173 in the constellation Canes Venatici. Close to it, there are the two galaxies NGC 5169 and NGC 5198 in the same constellation.
The elliptical galaxy NGC 5173 in constellation Canes Venatici is located close to the galaxy M 51 (in a distance of 40'); I observed it just for this reason because I was curious. When observing NGC 5173, two more small galaxies appear in the eVscope's field of view, namely NGC 5169 and NGC 5198 in the same constellation. Together with PGC 48012, these galaxies form the NGC 5198 Group.
