NGC 5324 is a 11.8 likes bright spiral galaxy of Hubble type Sc in the constellation Virgo to the ecliptic . It is estimated to be 133 million light-years from the Milky Way and about 90,000 light-years across.
The object was discovered on March 5, 1785 by Wilhelm Herschel with an 18.7-inch reflector telescope, who described it as "F, cL, iF, bM".
Perhaps NGC 5324 also with that of William Henry Finlay observed on September 20, 1883 galaxy IC 4407 identical. Nothing can be found at the position given for IC 4407 , but NGC 5324 is not far from it.
