	Spindle Galaxy (NGC 3115 and NGC 5866)
		NGC 3115 was the fourth galaxy in which a supermassive fl hole was found (Kormendy & Richstone 1992, ApJ, 393, 559).
		NGC 5866 is part of a group of galaxies (the NGC 5866 group), which also contains NGC 5907 and 5879, as well as many fainter galaxies.
		Astronomers suspect that NGC 5866 may be M102, one of the last disputed Messier objects, though this is still a matter of debate.

	NGC 5866 / Messier 102 ?
		NGC 5866 is a beautiful lenticular galaxy in Northern constellation Draco, which is seen almost exactly edge-on, showing a prominent dust lane along its equatorial plane.
		NGC 5866 was probably first seen by Pierre Méchain in March 1781, or by Charles Messier shortly after that time.
		NGCs 5862, 5867, 5874 and 5876 as well as IC 1099 are faint background galaxies within the field of this group, similar to the nearby background galaxy pair NGC 5905 and NGC 5908.

		Elliptical Galaxy M49 (also known as Messier Object 49, Messier 49, M49, or NGC 4472) is an elliptical galaxy in the Virgo constellation.
		Elliptical galaxies are generally fairly low in gas and dust, and are composed mostly of older stars.
		Dwarf elliptical galaxies are probably not true ellipticals at all; they have properties that are similar to those of irregulars and late spiral-type galaxies.

		In connection with the Hubble Heritage image of NGC 5866, Phil Plait posed some interesting questions on the Bad Astronomy blog, and likewise a few writers in Webland have chimed in via email.
		It is consistent with what we know to interpret the wisps in NGC 5866 as tracers of energy input by a relative handful of massive stars, as we see in edge-on spiral galaxies.
		Projected close to the central galaxy NGC 3309 are two disk systems, PGC 31450 and 31464, which show very broad fanlike spiral patterns, much as models suggest result from tidal effects on stars alone with essentially no disk gas.

		But as the Theta in the raised right hand of Boötes, if badly made, might be mistaken for an omicron, this is probably the object seen by Méchain, and JH's 1910 [NGC 5879]; it being the brightest nebula of five in that vicinity [actually, the brightest is NGC 5866].
