Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This chart shows the location of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 253 within the constellation of Sculptor. This map shows most of the stars visible to the unaided eye under good conditions, and the galaxy itself is marked with a red circle. This galaxy is bright enough to be easily seen as an elongated haze through binoculars from a dark site.
