Galaxy Pair NGC 3511 and NGC 3513 in Crater

This lovely galaxy pair is in the southern constellation of Crater (The Cup) and they are both about
45 Million light years away, with the larger NGC 3511 probably the closer of the two. NGC 3511 is an
intermediate spiral and is approx 5.8' X 2' while the smaller NGC 3513 is a barred spiral approx 2.9' X 2.4'
