This image shows you medium-scaled galaxies in the northern part of Ursa Major, around 6.3 degrees northeast from Mizar. A central edge-on has an ID of NGC5389 and span in north south direction of a bit smaller than 7 arc minutes. Ones just west (right hand side) of it and in lower right hand side in the flame are NGC5379 and NGC5376, respectively. Both the galaxies have long axis and brightness of about 2 arc minute and 13th or 14th magnitude, respectively. These three galaxies are floating at 90 to 120 million light years away.
