NGC 5921 is a 11th magnitude Spiral Galaxy appearing in the constellation Serpens. It is 46 million light years from our solar system. NGC 5921 appears roughly 3.0 x 2.0 arcminutes in size, corresponding to a physical diameter of 40057 light years. It is a spiral galaxy of morphological type Sbc, and is receding at 1437 kilometers per second - about 0.5% of light speed. A nice galaxy in a little visited constellation. A pleasant surprise. 15x15" with a Newton f/4 + Infinity

Thanks for comments.
I like very much to photograph entire constellations limiting the magnitude to 12, and sometimes I find things very nice and very little known.
In my signature you can find a link to some examples of my work.
