NGC 1001 is a Spiral Galaxy in thePerseus constellation.NGC 1001 issituated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere.Given itsB magnitude of 14.7, NGC 1001 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 20 inches (500mm) or more.
The image below is a photograph of NGC 1001 from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see thecredits section) taken in the red channel.The area of sky represented in the image is 0.5000x0.5000 degrees (30.00x30.00 arcmins).
