	NGC 5866, Lenticular Galaxy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		NGC 5866 is a bright Lenticular Galaxy in the Constellation of Draco and the largest member of a small galaxy group.
		NGC 5866’s dust lane is “buried” inside of a large outer envelope that makes the galaxy look something like an elliptical on long photographic exposures.
		Strangely, the dust lane is tilted slightly from the plane of the rest of the galaxy.

	Spindle Galaxy in Draco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spindle Galaxy in Draco (also known as the Spindle Galaxy, Lenticular Galaxy NGC 5866 or NGC 5866) is a lenticular galaxy, type S0_3, in the Draco constellation.
		Astronomers believe that the Spindle Galaxy may be the same as Messier Object 102.
		NGC 5866 was probably discovered by Pierre Méchain or Charles Messier in 1781, and independently found by William Herschel in 1788.

	NGC 5866 (Messier 102 ?)
		NGC 5866 is a beautiful lenticular galaxy of visual magnitude 10.0 or 9.6 (the first value from Sky Catalogue 2000.0, the latter is an estimate by Don Machholz).
		This galaxy is situated in the northern constellation Draco at RA 15h 06.5, Dec +55d 46' (2000.0).
		If it should be true that neither Mechain nor Messier have observed NGC 5866, it was probably first seen by William Herschel (or perhaps by Caroline Herschel) in the mid or late 1780s; it bears Herschel's number H I.215 (Admiral Smyth writes it was discovered in March, 1789).

		NGC 5866 is a lenticular galaxy in Draco.
		NGC 5866 does reside along a line between Iota Draconis and Theta Bootis, two stars separated by about 22 degrees.
		The closest 6th magnitude star to NGC 5866 is 6.9 magnitude HD 133666, about 31' to the northwest, close enough that inclusion a description for this object would make sense.

		An elliptical galaxy is a galaxy with a smooth, elliptical shape.
		Unlike spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies are generally yellow-red in color, do not have spiral arms, and contain little interstellar dust or gas.
		One way irregular galaxies are formed is when galaxies collide or come close to one another, and their gravitational forces interact.

	lenticular galaxy
		A galaxy with a central bulge and disk but apparently lacking spiral arms and substantial amounts of interstellar material.
		Lenticular galaxies are so named because of their lens-like appearance when seen edge-on.
		In the Hubble scheme of galaxy classification, lenticulars are known as S0 galaxies and are intermediate in form between spiral galaxies and ellipticals.

	Messier Object 102 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		M102 might be a duplication of the Spiral Galaxy M101 (NGC 5457) in Ursa Major, due to a possible error of either the catalog author Messier, or its `discoverer' Méchain, a view brought up by Méchain in a letter of May 1783.
		Perhaps more probably (due to historical evidence), M102 may be the Lenticular Galaxy NGC 5866 in Draco, also sometimes called the Spindle Galaxy, as Messier's catalog description indicates, together with the position he added later by hand in his personal copy.
		The authors of this page think that there is sufficient evidence that both Méchain and Messier have probably observed NGC 5866 in context of this catalog entry.

		Both of these galaxies are telescopic only and will be an extreme challenge at this time of year due to their low position.
		With ideal skies, the "Pinwheel Galaxy" could be seen in binoculars, but skybright will make this huge, low surface brightness spiral difficult for even telescopes at low power.

		Some have concluded it was an erroneous duplicate observation of M101, a conclusion which Messier's friend and fellow observer Mechain stated some years after his original discovery.
		However, a number of cogent arguments suggest that both men actually observed the Spindle Galaxy, NGC 5866 in the constellation Draco, and it is this galaxy which is shown here.
		It is a lenticular galaxy of type S0 (essentially a spiral galaxy without the spiral structure).
