NGC 5777 is a large edge-on spiral galaxy located in the constellation Draco. Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 2,210 ± 5 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 32.6 ± 2.3 Mpc (~106 million ly). NGC 5777 was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1789.

The luminosity class of NGC 5777 is II and it has a broad HI line. It is also an active galaxy with narrow optical emission lines. To date, nine non-redshift measurements yield a distance of 44.289 ± 8.577 Mpc (~144 million ly), which is just within the distance values of Hubble.

A spectrum obtained on July 10, 2001, by the Isaac Newton Telescope showed a type-IIp supernova at the center of NGC 5777. SN 2001dc was formed from a group of low-luminosity events, among with other supernovae in the region. They contain narrow spectral lines (indicating low expansion velocities) and low luminosities at every phase, which is untypical for a supernovae.
