IC5332 is a face-on spiral galaxy lying in southwestern region of Sculptor. North-south span of a bit smaller than 10 arc minutes can classify the galaxy as larger sized one. However lower meridian altitude at northern hemisphere limits chance to observe the galaxy. We can barely detect loosely-wound arms in this image in spite of its dimmed brightness of 11th magnitude. The galaxy has composed a small-scaled group with surrounding some galaxies, estimated as about 39 million light years away.
