NGC2541 is a small and dimmed spiral galaxy in central region of Lynx. The galaxy forms a small-scaled group with several minor galaxies distributed around here, the distance from us has been estimated about 30 millions light years. We can see the galaxy as only lump of dimmed light even if used larger ranged telescopes, but long-exposed pictures show us small nucleus and indistinct spiral structures.
