NGC 5322 is an elliptical Seyfert galaxy of the Hubble type E2 in the constellation Great Bear . It is estimated to be 86 million light years from the Milky Way and, together with NGC 5379, forms a gravitationally bound double galaxy.
The object was discovered on March 19, 1790 by Wilhelm Herschel with an 18.7-inch reflector telescope, who described it as "vB, pL, iF, suddenly much brighter in the middle".
