NGC 5660 is a Intermediate Spiral Galaxy in the Boötes constellation. NGC 5660 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 12.2, NGC 5660 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 8 inches (200mm) or more.

NGC 5660 is a type SBc (barred spiral) galaxy in the constellation Boötes. Its visual magnitude is 11.9, but I found it to have low surface brightness outside of the core. It has a faint companion that may or may not be interacting with it.

NGC 5660 ist die hübsche Spiralgalaxie am rechten Bildrand, auf die wir von oben blicken. Auch sie erscheint sehr strukturiert und detailliert und ihre Spiralarme sind durch helle Sternhaufen geprägt. Der sich nach Süden windende Arm ist dabei wesentlich ausgeprägter, länger und heller.
