NGC 5719 = NGC 5658 is a 12.6 mag bar -spiral-shaped Low Surface Brightness Galaxy of the Hubble type SBab / pec in the constellation Virgo , which is about 77 million light years away from the Milky Way .
It was discovered on April 11, 1787 by Wilhelm Herschel with an 18.7-inch reflector telescope, who described it as "pB, cS, lE". NGC 5658 goes back to the observation of George Bond on May 9, 1853, who mistakenly assumed the object (star) to be a galaxy. In 2015, Wolfgang Steinicke used Bond's notes to demonstrate that although he had observed NGC 5713 , he made a serious mistake in specifying the position.
