NGC3377 is a small elliptical galaxy located in the central region of Leo, about 2 degrees north of M105.
It is a member of the Leo I Galaxy Group and lies at a distance of approximately 11 million light-years.
The galaxy has a fairly flattened elliptical shape, and no distinct internal structure can be discerned.
About 7 arcminutes northwest of NGC3377 lies its extremely faint companion galaxy NGC3377A, which has an apparent diameter of about 2 arcminutes and a brightness of around 15th magnitude.
In the lower-right corner of the field, about 20 arcminutes southwest of NGC3377, the barred spiral galaxy NGC3367 can be seen.
It is a compact system with a size of roughly 2.5 arcminutes and is located at a distance about ten times greater than that of NGC3377.
