# NGC6076 NED01

NGC6076 NED01 is a [galaxy](https://spacecatalog.org/galaxies) in the constellation [Corona Borealis](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/corona-borealis), 481.6 Mly from Earth, shining at apparent magnitude 15.31 (B). Other catalogues list it as 2MASX J16111299+2652195, MCG +05-38-023 NED01 and NGC 6076A, among 6 designations in total.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Galaxy
- **HOW FAR:** 481.6 Mly — A luminosity distance, from its redshift — how faint it looks. The light itself left 455 million years ago.
- **HOW BIG ON THE SKY:** 1.0′ — Small enough that the full Moon would cover it several times over.
- **HOW BRIGHT (B):** 15.31 — Faint: it takes a large telescope.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Corona Borealis](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/corona-borealis) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.

## Catalogue data

### HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Apparent magnitude (B) | 15.31 |
| Apparent magnitude (J) | 11.73 |
| Apparent magnitude (H band) | 11.03 |
| Apparent magnitude (K) | 10.73 |
| Surface brightness | 23.9 mag/arcsec² |

### WHERE IT IS AND HOW IT MOVES

Position, motion across the sky and the size it covers on it. These are measurements of the object as seen from here, so every one of them depends on where here is.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Radial velocity | 9847 km/s |
| Redshift (z) | 0.0334 |
| Redshift (z, CMB frame) | 0.0336251 |
| Major axis | 1′ |
| Minor axis | 0.46′ |
| Position angle | 62° |
