Abstract

Spectroscopic and imaging observations of NGC 5395, and images of its companion NGC 5394 are presented. These results show quite clearly that the spiral arms of NGC 5395 are trailing, as is usual, despite claims by Pasha and Smirnov (1982) that NGC 5395 is a leading-arm galaxy. However, NGC 5395 shows some rather unusual structure, and its smaller companion NGC 5394 shows a very bright stellar nucleus with the possibility of asymmetric extended H-alpha emission.
