text:
NGC 1560, also known as IC 2062, is an 11th-magnitude spiral galaxy, in the IC 342/Maffei Group. It was discovered by Wilhelm Tempel on August 1, 1883. The galaxy has a negative radial velocity of -35 km/second. NGC1560 is close enough to the Earth that its distance must be derived directly. Karachentsev et al. (2003) report a distance of 3.45 Mpc, while Madore (1993) give 2.5 Mpc using the brightest stars method. Currently, the most accurate estimate is approximately 8 to 12 million light years
